Joya de Nicaragua Unveils New Look for Antaño Dark Corojo
A new look is coming to one of Joya de Nicaragua’s best known cigars, as today the company announced updated packaging and bands for the Antaño Dark Corojo.
The new look features bands and boxes that are more unified in design with the company’s other brands, while it gets its own color scheme, using a black and gold combination with a new secondary band.
“To align the Antaño family and its look, we have updated the packaging of the Antaño Dark Corojo to match the other brands in the Antaño Family, said Juan Ignacio Martinez, executive president of Joya de Nicaragua, via a press release. “This means that even though all of them will have their unique color code and details, they will carry relatable bands and will be presented in the same type of box. This alignment will help establish the Antaño family brand of cigars. In other words, we are now offering three alternatives to get cigars of unique Nicaraguan character.”
The Antaño Dark Corojo line debuted in 2007 and has long been known as one of the most powerful cigars on the market, showcasing the power of Nicaraguan tobacco and high priming ligero. That won’t change with the new look, and it will stay available in six sizes:
- Joya de Nicaragua Antaño Dark Corojo Azarosa (4 1/2 x 52)
- Joya de Nicaragua Antaño Dark Corojo El Martillo (5 1/2 x 54)
- Joya de Nicaragua Antaño Dark Corojo La Niveladora (6 x 52)
- Joya de Nicaragua Antaño Dark Corojo La Pesadilla (4 3/4 x 60)
- Joya de Nicaragua Antaño Dark Corojo Peligroso (5 x 44)
- Joya de Nicaragua Antaño Dark Corojo Poderoso (6 x 54)
“The Antaño Dark Corojo is a cigar of great strength, even for the most experienced smoker,” said Mario Perez, Joya de Nicaragua’s commercial manager. “With its revamp we were also looking to solidify a family represents the ultra robustness, yet smooth character of Nicaraguan tobacco.”
The new look will begin shipping to retailers in October, according to Daniel Barrios, U.S. brand manager for Joya de Nicaragua.
Update — Shortly after this article was published, the shipping date for the new packaging was announced.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
