Antaño 1970 is the blend that helped reintroduce Joya de Nicaragua to a new generation of full strength cigar smokers. The line takes its name from the Spanish word for yesteryear, drawing on the legacy of Nicaragua’s oldest cigar factory and the bold Nicaraguan puros once associated with the country’s tobacco tradition.

Shut the Box gives that familiar Antaño 1970 profile a playful limited edition setting. The box is built around the traditional dice game of the same name, with the cigars, game instructions, and two dice all presented together. It is a collector focused release, but the cigar inside remains firmly rooted in the Antaño 1970 style, rich, peppery, earthy, and unapologetically full.

The Gran Cónsul is one of Joya de Nicaragua’s signature formats. At 4 3/4 x 60, it is short and broad, with a slight Belicoso style taper at the head. The large ring gauge creates a generous smoke volume, while the shorter length keeps the flavor concentrated. The wrapper should show a dark Colorado brown color with reddish tones, visible tooth, and a firm, densely packed body.

The first third opens with black pepper, dry earth, cedar, and espresso. Through the middle, leather, cocoa nibs, roasted nuts, charred oak, and a subtle sour cherry sweetness add more depth. The final third moves firmly into full strength, with heavier black pepper, coffee beans, gritty earth, dark chocolate, and a long spicy finish.
