Antano Dark Corojo is one of Joya De Nicaragua's most "powerful" series. Poderoso (meaning "powerful") lives up to its name, a cigar designed for cigar smokers seeking ultimate strength. It uses a Nicaraguan Corojo wrapper that has undergone an extra-long fermentation process, resulting in a near-black color, pushing the brand's rich style to new heights and becoming a "power symbol" for seasoned cigar aficionados.

Flavor Ladder
Initial impressions: The first taste is an explosive blend of black pepper and dark roast coffee bean aromas, with a thick, oily smoke that instantly fills the entire mouth. Mid-section: The flavors evolve into rich aromas of dark chocolate, aged leather, and earth, accompanied by the characteristic spicy sweetness of the Corojo wrapper, resulting in an extremely full-bodied wine. Finale: The power continues to build, ending with strong aromas of roasted spices and licorice, leaving a deep finish with a powerful nicotine impact.
Reasons for recommendation
- Authoritative and high-scoring recognition: The Peligroso size in this series has received a high rating of 90 points or above from Cigar Aficionado and is recognized as the benchmark for extreme flavors.
- The ultimate Corojo charm: using an extremely rare dark Corojo wrapper, the tobacco undergoes a longer fermentation cycle to extract its deepest richness, rather than simple spiciness.
- The ultimate challenge for gourmets: its strength is typical of full-bodied whisky, making it perfect for deep tasting after a hearty meal, paired with rich bourbon whiskey or black coffee.
