I dont think they're that strong. An Oliva V is definitely stronger in my opinion. But they are a nice smoke just the same. I keep a couple in my humi and I saw my B+M has a few boxes on the shelf where the sugars are starting to crystallize in the wrapper so they got the fuzz! I may try to talk them out of some at a discount since they're "cosmetically challenged".
I think they are about on par with the Oliva V. The Man O War Ruination is definately stronger, and the new Padilla Dominus is at least as strong if not stronger.
I still have not smoked anything that hit me as strongly as the Joya Antaño robusto did. My knees nearly buckled when I stood up after smoking that one. The other sizes are not as strong though.
I've never had the Antano, but there is one that has been staring at me from my humidor everytime I open it begging me to smoke him... Gotta thank Joe for that one! He hooked me up with it along with several others that I have never had!
If you like that one Jason, I'll have to remember to set you up with a belicoso, none of the other sizes really compare to how good that one size is, it's like the perfect balance of flavor and power.

I concur, but the robusto is pretty good. Like I said above, the other sizes (three of them anyways) aren't good at all, its wierd how much difference there is between the sizes in the Anatanos.
I gotta say think you for that one Joe! Awesome smoke! I fired it up last night and it was one of the stronger more flavorful smokes I've had recently. Damn good!
You should Lassy. I have thought about it for a long time and since I got the one from Joe I've been looking forward to lighting it up. I'm very thankful to Joe now! It was the best thing Johnathan Drew has ever done IMO. I like it a lot better than the Liga Privada personally.
