Arturo Fuente Anejo Shark

elderboy02 · 08-28-2009, 08:42 PM

Date: 8/28/09

Cigar: Arturo Fuente Anejo Shark #77 (5 5/8 x 54)

Cost: I am not sure. I snagged it in a pass

Drink: Coca-Cola

Appearance: This has a Connecticut broadleaf maduro wrapper. There were no veins showing. This is a double banded cigar (Anejo band at the top and a red band around the foot). The appearance gets a 10/10

Pre-Light: It just had a normal tobacco taste to it.

Construction: Held a very long ash. I only had to ash the cigar a few times. The draw was perfect. This is a densely packed cigar. The cigar required a some touchups.

Taste of the cigar: This cigar has a hot chocolate, woodsy and slightly spicy taste.

Strength: This is a full bodied cigar.

Summary: This cigar was pretty good. I think I prefer the #46 (5 5/8" x 46) a little more. I would buy these again. I give it a 8/10.

This is my favorite Anejo! I've had nothing but positive experiences with it....Great flavor, great burn, great cigar! I think it pairs well with somewhat sweet beverages.

EXCELLENT stick. My second favorite Anejo (the 46 is #1). I might have one tomorrow while golfing.

The only way I'll buy these is if I run across them for MSRP.. It's a good smoke but not THAT good..

It seems like the only online sites that have these in stock have them double the MSRP
