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!
