Construction – a nicely constructed cigar, with a light brown wrapper.

Pre-light – draw seemed a little tight, but not too bad. Hints of wood and leather.

1/3 – Ample smoke with a slightly wavy burn. Toasted almonds and leather. Tasty!

2/3 – Burn got a little worse here and draw tightened up. Had to relight once. Leather and cedar.

3/3 – Took a turn for the worse. Draw tightened more and went out on me twice. Pitched it.

I really enjoyed the first third and certainly expected to have a good overall experience with this. This was the first time I’d ever smoked one of these. I think I have another one somewhere, so I’ll revisit and just hope that this was a fluke because I’ve pretty much only heard good things about this stick.

What box did this come out of, was it the plain wood box, or the obvious 100 Anos box? I only ask because they're not the same cigars as much as they might lead you to believe.

No idea. Think I got it in a sampler I bought somewhere a year or two ago.

Whats the difference in cigars between the two boxes?

They taste different but don't look different. I'd have to double check with the guy at the B&M where I worked. You can tell by the serial number on the band too.

The 100 Anos blend is awesome. I'm gonna say fluke as well. Smoke these SLOW and just relax. I think they are wonderful cigars.

It has been a while since i smoked a 100 anos but i remember liking them a lot. I think the 100 anos blend was discontinued, i might be wrong though. Give them another try
