Fuente Anejo 888 Review

[ATL]

The serendipitous story of the Fuente Anejo makes the cigar appealing even before you smoke it. Fact or myth, it worked on me several years ago. I like the shark but the blend really shines in 50 rg or less. So, when the lonsdale-ish 888 was released, I took notice.

1/3: I clipped it twice, not a big torpedo fan, perfect draw. Typical toothy Anejo wrapper. Quite a bit of spice up front, none of the typical sweetness. Very balanced.

2/3: Starting to taste like Anejo, lots of sweet chocolate, maple sweetness. Burn and draw are spot on.

Spice is back, some bitter chocolate. Very smooth and balanced, full bodied but balanced.

Thanks for reading.

Great smoke and nice review! Thanks for sharing! I really enjoyed the Anejo Xtra Viejo No. 46 I definitely liked the smaller ring gauge as you mentioned.

Not very much. They just came out a few months ago. I let it rest for a week after I bought it.

Ah... had to look it up. They've releases Anjeo before but not the 888. My bad.

The spicy aspect of this saddens me, I was hoping for just an increase in the sweet profile

I reallly like the 888,but still prefer the Shark over it.
