I made my daily Anjeo run to Holt's and wasn't disappointed as they put out a new size. It's the Anjeo Reserva No. 55 (Torpedo) for $9.00 a pop with a 2 per day limit. I was surprised they were priced higher then the Sharks. I also picked up the last Hemingway BTL as they don't know if any more will be coming in. Boy they went fast!

I asked the Fuentes down at Sweethearts the same thing, and they told me that the 55 is an overall larger cigar. The number corresponds to the ring gauge on all but the 77 (shark), which is actually a 52 I believe. The 55 is, hands down, my favorite size anejo.

I had noticed that every place I've seen online has the Shark priced higher for some reason and so I was surprised to see the 55 higher at Holt's. What you say does make sense but I'm wondering if the Shark might be made in fewer quantities then the rest of the Anjeo line hence the higher price?

#77 is probably priced higher because of its square to circle shape. Just a guess, I don't really know why.

It's seems like the stock is really dropping off at Holt's on the Anejo's. They just had the #50's for $7.25 each left.

I did pick up a couple of Untold Story for $12 each and they got another box of BTL's in stock.
