found these at my local. I know that they are Anejos but they dont look like the ones I have seen before. They do not have the cedar wrap and red ribbon.648036.JPG

just a thought........the cedar could have been removed for inspection if there were molded cigars in the box.

The bands look old to me, but look no fiol printed cello. What do they smell like? I always thought those smelled like sweet cinnamon prelite.

I have no doubt these are the real deal Anejos. The owner is a friend of the Fuentes. Hell... I even scored a full box of King B's along with these Anejos when I stopped in!

I think they might be orig release #48, just looking for experienced opinions.

Homebrew, email me please. I lost your email addy.

Nice find, Chip.

Looks like there actually IS a reason to live in Fargo/Morehead 😉

(I see you have some $$$$ - do I smell an upcoming split?)

Ryan... you don't know the half of it. If I told you the price I picked these and others up for, I think I would start a riot! (c:

A split might be an option soon. I am donating plasma now so I have some cigar money... lol

I'd rather split a box with you than buy your plasma.

Damn Chippy,

Those sure are original release. There are slight differences in the band design on later releases. Have not heard of anybody finding those for sale in years. Great find!
