I have a friend that just returned from a trip to Nicaragua. She brought me a five pack of Hoja De Nicaragua. It had to be the most awful cigar I ever tasted. Pure POS. I gave it about three puffs and then the hole five pack went in the trash. I would never tell her, but when she goes back I will hint for something different.
 
Would have loved to seen some pics before you threw them away :p
 
I could'nt agree more with you in regards to that particular cigar , my bro/inlaw gave me one a few years ago at xmas and it was a real dog rocket ( actually I think smoking one of my dogs turds would have been better ) . I smoked it after dinner and nearly threw up my meal , I had a Boli #2 after it to clean the taste buds.
BTW Issy , it is a Hoya de Nicaragua Consul because I kept the band to make sure I did not make the mistake of buying one , stay away from that brand it really is SH%t .

No, it is Hoja.

I have a pic of the band, but I can not get it to post.

That's probably why is was a dog rocket... it's more than likely a rip off Joya de Nic, the Antano's are one of my all time favs.

Yup thats them , the Joya is a great smoke and makes that brand look like tree bark wrapped in a tobacco leaf .

Yea these are not as good as a Joya De Nicaragua

Yep, those are the POS I was talking about.
 
As NIKO said, it's probably a knockoff. They've even taken the same name that JOYA uses for one of their vitolas. Stick with the REAL Joyas...you'll be much happier.
 
I don't even think its a knock off... totally different brand label.

*edit* doesn't Hoja mean leaf?
