    Those Sharks are special for a few reasons.... one of them is that there is only one person in the Fuente factory that can roll that shape and size, it is incredibly difficult and only one person can do it. The other is how the Anejo came to be in the first place; the Fuente's have overcome many hard times and a while back after the Opus X had successfully been created and the wrapper leaves grown on Chateau De La Fuente there was a horrible hurricane that wiped out the wrapper crop for that year. Instead of cancelling the Opus X, they used a different wrapper leaf that had been aged in Rum Casks and created a new cigar, the Anejo. Over time the amount of time the wrapper leaf was aged in rum casks dropped due to supply and demand, but they are still the main Opus X blend with some tweaks, and a maduro wrapper leaf that had been aged in Rum Casks. At least that is what I am familiar with for the story of how the Anejo came to be. All in all its a great cigar with some really sweet and subtle nuances. Hope that gives some neat backstory to go with the cigar.

    Thanks Brett! I had heard the story before, but not with that much detail! @90+_Irishman I liked this one more than the others I've had. They're all good, but this one is better! Just finishing it up now!

    New Wave Connecticut Robusto from EP Carrilo with coffee in the back yard with my dog Earl watching The Shannara Chronicles with the sound being down out by pouring rain. A better stick than I thought.

    Good morning and Merry Christmas everyone.
    I got a brand new 114 centimeter computerized telescope, and I've been up most of the night looking at Andromeda.  Kinda tired, this morning cigars another Diamond Crown, I'm really starting to love these.
