Friends,
This is only the second cigar review I have ever written. The first was quite a few years ago and it has been lost from some site failure that happened a few year ago. I posted more regular back in those days but after that I kind of lost interest. I reviewed a Punch RS #12 after a bad day at the horse race track in Arlington Heights.
Now I live in Cornelius NC. It’s a nice little lake town. Beautiful boats and wonderful people. I wouldn’t change it for anything in the world.
I’ve been reading these boards for a long time. So many people have been raving over these Anejo’s that I had to pick one up. I’m not sure what the size is but I expect it is about a 46 ring gauge and 5 inches long. You can see a pic of it in the thread called "Show off your latest NC purchase."
This is the first NC that I have purchased in years. I only smoke ISOM’s. Specifically the Punch RS #12. That Punch is absolutely my favorite cigar on the planet.
This Anejo’s was probably 98% as good as an RS #12 that has been aged 1 year. I just purchased it last night. I asked my B@M how long he had it. He said he just got them at the end of last week.
I fired it up with a Ronson Jetlite and it was good to go from the start. I got a good light and it burned even from start to finish. This is a cigar that you don’t have to dress up for. Do you know what I mean? It’s a cigar that YOU smoke. Not a cigar that smokes you.
I always like to let my gf try out the cigar I’m smoking. She’s smoked quite a few Cubans and expensive cigars that she thought were dog rockets. She doesn’t ever like cigars. This is the only one she ever held for more than a few seconds. She liked it. I loved it. I would be surprised if you didn’t love it.
I’ve had a lot of Bolivars and Cohibas that I paid a lot of money for. I just felt like they were smoking me. I hate that. I want a cigar that I can smoke and I can just be me regardless of the situation. This cigar is available at and my local cigar store.
If you ever happen upon one, please spend the $8 and buy it. If you hate it, send me a PM and tell me how wrong I was. I’m going to the store tomorrow to purchase a half a dozen more. I’ll try to let a couple sit for a year. I have no idea how good they could be in 12 months. It will be a 2008 Christmas gift to myself.
I hope you are all doing well. Happy smoking. What a great time to be alive.
Your friend,
Chris
