into the first third and this thing is awesome.this is the best Anejo I have had in years. it's got so much chocolate it's crazy. this is the most balanced Anejo i think I have ever had.medium to full body with tons of chocolate light spice cedar and light sweetness.the burn is perfect as well as the draw.this cigar is what could be called classy and refined. the ash is very solid and white in color. I'm at about the mid point and still about the same except for more wood and leather.if I didn't know when this is from I would swear It has a couple of years age on it. nothing is out of place on this one. just a beauty. at $13.50 a stick at Cigar Sanctuary in North Hollywood,Ca. how could you go wrong. I am at a little over half way through this stick a hour and a half latter . a slow burn would be a understatement. I'm loving this thing and I don't smoke double coronas.at 2 hours there is still 4inches left to this stick. smoked chocolate leather would describe this at this point. it has moved slightly up in body but still ever so balanced. to me this tops an Opus X in its balance and grace. different flavors than Opus X but so much more chocolate and less pepper.I may be somewhat long winded in this review but I can't say enough how enjoyable this cigar is . to wrap it up about this cigar , two thumbs up. thank you Assaad at Cigar Sanctuary for recommending this to me. what a 3 hour commitment of over 7 inches of chocolatey richness. kudos Fuente family!!! :cbig:

BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

The anejos are one of my all time favorites this past releases 60s have been smoking great. So much licorice. I love the sharks but IMHO the cedar on all the other sizes helps them age so well. Glad you enjoyed it. Definitely different then an opus tho I love those as well.

you have found a special place there! anejos do it for me every time. now, if you can, drop a few in the bottom of your box and forgt them for a year or three, you will be WELL rewarded. o)
