I went to the "Big Smoke" in Las Vegas this past weekend, and was given great news! Fuente had a display, and Carlos Fuente was there handing out samples. I had the chance to speak with him about the Anejo, and it was very informative. I inquired if the cigar was, as reported by CA, an OpusX with a maduro wrapper? He said that was not exactly accurate. He would not disclose what is was, but did imply that it was a very close blend and it may have some leaf from the DC line also. I also spoke with the Fuente national sales rep about availablity. They are going to make the Anejo a part of the Fuente line, but in limited quanities, like the OpusX. They also come in 4 different sizes, but I can only recall 3; 46, 49, and 54. He also said that most stores that are major Fuente dealers should have received another box a week or so ago. Each dealer was sent a second box, and they attempted to send a size that was different from the first box.

More information on the history of the Anejo and the sizes etc can be found in the Fine Cigar room of Cigarfamily.com's online forum. Come by and Join!

Would you let a cash cow like this get away???

I hate to be negative, but if they're priced like the Opus X line, I won't be a regular purchaser. Any info on price?

They do cost less, and I think they are actually a better smoke. The are hard to find, the only down side.

I just picked up three of them here in Dallas for $12 a stick. Saving them until the grand kids are born in about 10 years!
