"Perfect Cigar"

Very well made. Burns nicely. Smells of wood, coffee and lots of spice. My 1st ever box of 20 and yes I will by lots more. It's such a chill cigar you will love it .

"Great full bodied smoke"

Full bodied, smooth and consistent. Flavor starts with some woody, allspice, creamy nutty with a very deep red finish with surprisingly little amount of pepper. Middle third sees more of the same flavors with some dark cherry-ish notes and light cocoa sneeking their way in with again surprisingly little spice. Surprised me, i was thinking what the hell were these people smoking ? saying these were peppery smokes. Just as i thought, bam in the final third here comes the pepper and spice, turns a little less creamy with a deep woody, eathry, allspice flavor. Burn and construction is great, however the draw can sometimes be on the tight side not a problem for me . All in all a fantastic looking, tasting, smelling cigar at an amazing price.

"Antano Rubusto are My Favorites ..."

I am a senior cigar smoker who usually enjoys full flavored cigars that have a good taste and do not blow me away ... Antano Rubusto is now my favorite ... smoked over a box of them past month and can enjoy them anytime ... always a treat .. best part is buying them from Cigar Auctioneer ... fair prices so far ... keep smoking & enjoying it.

"The flavor of this cigar is nuts"

Hazel nuts to be exact. This tasted just like hazel nut coffee, but without the sickly sweet taste. Nice peppery finish. Fantastic cigar. Too bad you can't get them for less than $2 - I'd smoke them every day.

"Excellent, very smooth. Anytime cigar"

A excellent anytime cigar. Very smooth and great taste, never harsh or distaste. My new favorite cigar, prefer the 4 1/2 X 52 size. Smoke one anytime AM, PM. 2nd box and never a bad cigar.

"Great cigar for a great price"

Joya de Nicaragua was once the most recognizable brand to come out of Nicaragua. With smokes like these, it's no wonder that they're still highly respected among avid smokers. This blend offers a balanced assortment of sweets and spices without being overpowering. That's not to say, however, that this isn't a powerful cigar. It's certainly a full-bodied smoke, but enjoyable all the way through. Highly recommended.

"Too good"

Since there was a line up of the usual characters waiting for a haircut, I asked the barber if I could take the folding chair outside in the fresh air ... (so I could fire up the Joya de Nicaragua Antano 1970 Consul burning up my pocket). As I got into it, I started to care less about the haircut, and more about enjoying this fine intense flavorful cigar along with a cup of that new/old Starbucks coffee (Pike Place brew). I was not interested in leaving that behind when my name was to be called. After getting my money's worth, I'm sure when I brought the chair back in and told the barber I'd have to try again tomorrow, he was probably wondering why I was smiling and not frowning ... that I had to wait so long and still didn't get my hair cut.

"perfect cigar for a quick and pleasing smoke"

Very well made burns perfectly and packed with loads of flavors such as deep wood coffee and lots of spice.

"Best Nic Ever!"

I am normally not a fan of Nicaraguan cigars, but the Antano is one big, fat exception. It doesn't have the bitter, earthy aftertaste that I've experienced with the CAOs and other Nicaraguan smokes, but is rather sweet, spicy and powerful all at the same time. I am with the other reviewers who are praying that the great price for a box of these doesn't change.
