Gotta go dark for me. However, unless i am thinking of something else, there was an antano lancero that was really good.

I really like the Cabinetta series and the Dark Corojo. one on the milder side and then a nice and heavy cigar.

Antano Gran Consul is and always will be a staple in my humidor, I feel the antano is one of the unsung heroes of the cigar world.

1970 Antano PR....I was readily waiting for the Antano DC, but not as good as I had hoped. Still a really good smoke IMHO, but a little too heavy in the hand, like Jack said; some were a little plugged. Had to get out my poker to loosen the draw

thinking about buying a box of the 1970 Antano lanceros...very tempting

I love the JdN Celebration. The same blend as the Antaño series except for a mellower Habanos seed criollo wrapper. Yummy!

I love the Antano Churchill... I let a 5'er mellow in the box for a year, and it each stick wasn't as much of a kick in the nuts. I'm super curious to try the Dark, and the Celebration. Anyone wanna swap a few sticks?

JDN Antano is one of my favorite brands. I love the nicotine kick. I call these my "poor mans Opus". My absolute favorite size is the Lancero. To me it is the best size for the best smoke experience with the Antano. I also like the Machita, nice short smoke. Good for breakfast(lol).

the Celebration is milder than the regular Antano line to me. So I don't smokem unless someone gives me one. Good smoke but just not my flavor profile.

The Dark Corojo is tasty. I find it has different and stronger flavors than the Antano with the same nicotine kick. I also like these.

For someone who hasn't had any JDN I would reccomend the Celebration and work your way up from there.

So on the strength scale, I guess the 1970 Antano is tops followed by Dark Corojo and then maybe the Celebracion?

It kind of depends on my mood but my two favorites right now are the Dark Corojo and the Cabinetta. As JD mentioned, the lanceros are right tasty!!! Nice draw and a great toasty finish!!!:ccool:
