JdN Numero 5

I recently came across a box and was just trying to find a little more info on it.
The sticks are 7 x 35 but some info I've found lists them as 6-7/8 x 35.

They are also a puro.

I couldn't find a date stamp on the box so I have no clue how old they are...

Are they still being produced or if/when they were discontinued...anyone know :dunno:

 

[CigarKing]

These aren't being produced anymore to my knowledge and I don't recall them being available for at least 2-3 years. I would say it is a safe bet these are at least 3-4 years old. I can't say for sure but they are not current production that is for sure.

The band looks like the Classico band. If that's the blend, it is a nice med body smoke with a criollo wrapper. Never seen it in a lancero though, but it's one I've enjoyed in the lonsdale format.

Ok, thanks gents!
BTW, I found them here if interested http://www.tophatcigar.com/a.cfm//Cigars-Hand-Rolled/Joya-De-Nicaragua-Cigars/

I'd love to hear a review. Is it actually Medium as John stated or is it Mild
as it says on the box?

 

[StocktonJohn]

Checked the listing and it says this one has the Conn wrapper. Classico came with Conn or criollo as I recall. This one could be more on the mild side.

You're right. Its probably just the light in the pic! The Criollo wrapper is
mottled from what I can remember.

The only thing I can compare it to after smoking it would be a mild gran consul IMO.
I didn't get a nic buzz till the last 2.5", which isnt a bad thing I guess.
There were some soft spots, but no burn issues. The draw was a little too firm for my liking.
All in all, not a bad $2 smoke.
