Cigar Of The Day - Arturo Fuente Anejo
Good evening Steemians, tonight I chose a Arturo Fuente Anejo 49, in the longest vitola they offer, about 7.5 inches. The Fuente Anejo is only released 2 times a year, around Thanksgiving for the holidays, and most of the time again at Fathers Day. The Cognac barrel aged wrapper adds such a nice black cherry and rich flavor to an almost OpusX blend.
Blend Specifics:
Wrapper: Connecticut Broadleaf
Binder: Dominican
Filler: Dominican
Vitola: 7 5/8 x 49
Cloudy smoke, but smooth and flavor packed. The Anejo has always been a consistent cigar, with the same experience each time. Amazing sweet caramel, cashews, chocolate, salt, and spice, all well balanced with an espresso finish.
This Anejo is a full flavored, and full bodied, however it will not knock you on your backside with tobacco strength.
I don't normally pair food with cigars, although I feel it is a lost experience these days... but left-over New York roast is perfect with the Anejo.
Apparently the dogs are into it as well.
Overall, the Fuente Anejo 49 is a lovely cigar. The flavor profile is scrumptious, the smoke cloudy and creamy. They are on the expensive side of cigar prices at around $15, and worth every penny. This being said, I would recommend choosing from any of the other vitolas, the construction will be perfect, they are easier to find, and the price slightly less.

Cheers Steemians!
I'm intrigued by the description. Until my crypto regains lost ground, I'm going to stick to my $7.50 Padrons. :-)
I'm with you Seablue.... My daily smoke is the Padron Churchill, I usually can find them for $6 a piece. This one was a birthday present. Have a good one!
hi Greg...arturo fuente!!!....what a brand!!!...i have tried some sticks but not the one you are reviewing ...i can see though that its a full-bodied cigar... let me ask you...you say of course that it will not knock you down but can you please give me a clue on the experience on the 3rd third of the stick??....i mean i don't like to start sweating or feeling disturbances on my stomach ( i think you know what i mean) ...if that's the case i'd rather stay away!!!
Hey Funnel.., It is a stronger cigar, but the tobacco is aged plenty , I don't notice any nicotine affect anytime smoking the Anejo. I would however recommend a smaller size Anejo, like the robusto, or the thin ring 888.
Smoke slow and have some type of food and/or sugar involved while smoking. That should help with any high nicotine content. You can always smoke a cigar like this you are unsure of, very slow, even if you find yourself relighting a few times. I think you will enjoy it!
That's the best to enjoy the rest ; )
