Hi all,

I just accidentally overbid for a cigar auction featuring two 5 packs of Arturo Fuente Anejo cigars. :( These are the ultra rare cigars that come out like once a year in quantities of less than 1000. I thought I was bidding $87 for two 5 packs, but I was actually bidding $87 for each 5 pack. :eek: Whoops!

Anyway, if anyone wants to buy one of these off me I'll entertain any offer you got. :o I want to somehow make up some of the damage to my credit card. Here's the description:

Many believe that A. Fuente Anejo Reservas are made with the identical filler and binder tobaccos as the Fuente Opus X. While this remains a closely guarded secret within the Fuente family, finding this on the market usually proves to be equally difficult. The Anejo features a dark USA Connecticut broadleaf wrapper, a leaf aged for a full year in oak cognac barrels. This results in a great smoke - full-bodied with a complex and uniquely rich flavor.

Category: 5-PACKS
Cigar Size: 5.1" x 50 ring

CohibaIV, just wondering if you've lit one of those AF Anejo's up yet and if so what did you think?

Yes Gary/Smokincohibas..
And what a smoke..very smooth with an easy draw, but most of all a really good tasting cigar.
Now I have not had a Opus X but would like to to compare, as they say that the Anejo use the same filler.
Don't know if Larrysputnik has had one to be able to compare??
But in short...Loved the Cigar..four more to go, but not straight away..

Had mine with a large Havana 7 year old rum which went really well with the Cigar...

Did a review in the What are you smoking today thread when I had one....
