Joya de Nicaragua to Introduce Antaño CT “Gran Cónsul” at PCA 2025

April 1, 2025 By Matthew Tabacco

Joya de Nicaragua introduces the Antaño CT “Gran Cónsul”, a bold, new addition to the legendary Antaño CT line. This special-edition release is available exclusively to Joya de Nicaragua Club de Amigos of JDN members, with only 250 boxes produced.

For over two decades, the Antaño name has stood as a symbol of richness, complexity, character, and resilience. The Antaño CT shattered expectations by redefining Connecticut-wrapped cigars, blending smooth elegance with a complex taste profile. Now, for the first time, this acclaimed blend is presented in the Gran Cónsul (4 ¾ x 60) vitola, delivering deep, rich flavors while maintaining its signature balance.

The “Gran Cónsul” vitola has been a staple in other Antaños, but never before in Antaño CT—until now. It follows in the footsteps of the Antaño CT “Robusto”, The Club de Amigos of JDN program offers our most loyal partners exclusive access to truly special releases.

The Antaño CT “Gran Cónsul” joins past exclusives like Número Uno “L’attaché”, Antaño CT “Lonsdale”, and Clásico Medio Siglo “Gordo”, reinforcing their commitment to those dedicated retailers who proudly carry Joya de Nicaragua.

Wrapped in an Ecuadorian Connecticut shade leaf and filled with the finest Nicaraguan tobaccos, Antaño CT “Gran Cónsul” delivers a smoking experience that is bold yet smooth and refined. This cigar will be available in twenty-count boxes with an MSRP of $11.00 per cigar and $220.00 per box. This release will be officially unveiled next week at the PCA 2025 Convention and Trade Show in New Orleans and will begin shipping to stores in May, 2025.
