A 2001 Tribute to the 1970s
Antaño 1970 debuted at the 2001 RTDA show and established a modern reference point for full-strength Nicaraguan cigars. In 2024, Joya de Nicaragua formally renamed it Antaño Original to clarify its position within the expanded family. The Spanish name and the later rename are valuable search facts because both Antaño 1970 and Antaño Original remain common ways people identify the cigar.
From Nicaraguan Puro to Connecticut Contrast
Antaño Original uses Nicaraguan Habano Criollo wrapper with Nicaraguan binder and filler. Antaño CT uses Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade over Nicaraguan binder and filler, creating a deliberate contrast. Dark Corojo and Gran Reserva have their own recipes and aging stories and should never inherit the Original or CT wrapper fields. Handmade in Estelí Joya de Nicaragua makes the family in Nicaragua, with Original offered in a wide size range that includes Lancero, Churchill, Gran Perfecto, Belicoso and the compact Cónsul formats. The branches vary in formats and availability, so child pages should carry the precise current catalog.
