In 2001, Joya de Nicaragua launched Antaño 1970, a Nicaraguan puro that demonstrated the strong character and essence of Nicaraguan tobaccos and quickly gained acclaim as one of the boldest cigars on the market.

At the time, this cigar put everybody’s eyes on the now appreciated Nicaraguan Cigar Industry. Since then, Antaño has become a favorite for cigar enthusiasts who appreciate its strong, full-bodied character, and Antaño 1970 has become one of Joya de Nicaragua’s best-selling brands around the globe. Over the years, Joya de Nicaragua has expanded the Antaño brand to include four expressions: the original Antaño 1970, the super full-bodied Antaño Dark Corojo, the smooth and elegant Antaño Gran Reserva and the creamy with a kick, Antaño CT.

In 2021, Joya de Nicaragua was proud to announce the launch of Selección Antaño, an assortment pack for cigar smokers craving a full-bodied Nicaraguan experience. Selección Antaño embodies the quality of the best tobacco, represented in the four existing lines of Antaño.

This assortment was launched in just a couple countries, excluding the US. In 2023, on the year of its 55th anniversary, Joya de Nicaragua is honored to introduce Selección Antaño to the United States market. This assortment was presented during the TAA convention in the Dominican Republic this past March 2023.

Selección Antaño comes in a 4ct Toro box.

“The launch of Selección Antaño was made for those who love spicy, and full-bodied cigars. This selection represents the legacy of the authentic Nicaraguan puro, better than anything else.”
