Antaño Dark Corojo La Pesadilla
The Antaño Dark Corojo line from Joya de Nicaragua is a tribute to the strength, character, and heritage of authentic Nicaraguan tobacco. Every cigar in this series is crafted to remind us that power can also be elegant. The La Pesadilla vitola—Spanish for “The Nightmare”—is a short, thick torpedo (4¾ x 60) that makes an immediate impression, wrapped in a dark, oily Corojo Oscuro leaf that conveys strength, depth, and a sense of raw luxury.
This cigar is a true Nicaraguan puro, featuring locally grown wrapper, binder, and filler tobaccos. Nearly three-quarters of the filler consists of Ligero leaves aged for three years, resulting in an even burn, a full-bodied profile, and a powerful flavor journey that develops gradually, revealing layer upon layer of rich aromas.
The flavor profile of the Antaño Dark Corojo strikes a remarkable balance between intensity and refinement, offering notes of concentrated espresso, black pepper, dark chocolate, roasted cashews, and aged leather. Despite its compact size, it delivers a long and complex smoking experience, finishing with a warm, dry aftertaste that lingers on the palate long after the cigar is extinguished.
Antaño Dark Corojo La Pesadilla is designed for experienced cigar enthusiasts seeking a bold yet precise smoking experience—one that captures the very soul of Nicaragua in every draw. It pairs exceptionally well with an aged dark rum or a smoky bourbon, perfectly complementing the cigar’s celebrated “Doble Fuerte” character.
