Anejo No. 46

[drob03]

Anejo No. 46*
Don't know the age

First puffs produce a nuttiness that was very good

That nuttiness then Turned to a dull woody flavor

Ending the first third it continued with the woodsy flavor

At the halfway point and Im starting to pick up a slightly sweet finish which is enjoyable

Started to get a dirty flavor
Once the ash dropped I purged it and that dirt flavor went back to a sweet woodsy flavor

As I come up to the band *the dirt taste is back and this is where I put it down


I was disappointed with this smoke. This was my first Anejo and I was expecting more. The two days prior I had two great sticks and thought this was going to be my third.*

I will def try these again as everyone loves them. Hopefully the next one will be better.

Me neither. Thats the ONE that never fails.

My experience is that older doesn't equal better with the anejo's. I know others feel differently. Personally, I like to smoke them within a year.

Well the last few years Anejos' have been bad! This year was good supposedly.

I've only heard good things about these so I was surprised when it wasn't a stellar stick. The flavors just weren't doing it for me.

Never been a big fan of them, but I'm sorry to hear you did not enjoy it.

i have to agree. this year they were better than i remembered last year. Sorry you got a dud man!

Nice pics by the way, thanks!

Thanks for the review. Glad to see when the member reviewers keep it real rather than bow to the consensus. Personally, I enjoy them but haven't always had great one's either.

46's or Anejos in general?

I was told by many that they enjoyed this years release, I personally did not... but bought a box (so far) that will sit for at least 6-12 months.
(smoked a 46-55-50)

I bought a box of 46's. Lets see how they are!

 

[terrantheman]

I bought a box of 60's and I've not yet tried one, we'll see!

46's or Anejos in general?

It's a little complicated for me. 04 and 06 Anejo's accross the board were stellar. 07's turned out great after a couple of years. 08 jury is still out for me. 09 50's were fantastic, but the others were rather mediocre and the 49's weren't even good to me. 10 has me hoping a return to greatness. But in general, 46 and 48 are my go to size's.

I bought a box of 60's and I've not yet tried one, we'll see!

OOOh! These were a treat for me, best flavor out of the different sizes I've tried for 10. If they don't work out for you send me a pm and maybe we can work something out.:wink:

Warren I love this size for sure... In fact I was doing my annual purchase of a box of anejos and wanted some 46's as usual but my buddy sold me on the 60's. I thought they were bigger until he explained the 858 to me and I though WOW what a perfect cigar. I think the 858 size is just bad ass, it's perfect wrapper to filler/binder ratio.

I have really enjoyed the '10 release of the 46.

The 60 isn't exactly an 8-5-8 size. It's 1/4" longer and 1 RG bigger....same size as the Perfecxtion X (6 1/4 x 48).

 

[terrantheman]

Pretty close and I can't wait.

Thank you very much for the review and the pics. Haven't tried a 46 yet but hope to soon.
