Opus X release dates.

[Beagleone]

Fuente sent out a shipment in March to beat the tax increase that hit on April 1st. I pretty sure we won't see anything until November, but like it has been stated already, Fuente ships what they want when they want. You get them, an invoice and pay them accordingly. One of my B&Ms still has quite a few, partly due to price, partly do to low demand.

I honestly don't know and I've never smoked one so I might as well ask now.

I was at a B&M and overheard a couple of guys talking, one tells the other that the Anejo is a maduro Opus. Is that correct? No one else sitting around disagreed.

The names of the various Añejo vitolas (eg "No.48") are derived from the ring gauge of the cigar in question (except for the "Shark"; see below).

Añejo (which means "aged, refined" in Spanish) cigars were originally released in June 2000 (in a very small batch), and then again in December 2000 due to Fuente being skittish about whether enough Opus X tobacco would be available after the hurricane hit their farm in 1998.

Añejos have a blend of Opus X, Don Carlos, and Hemingway filler, with Connecticut broadleaf maduro wrappers that are cured in cognac barrels after they've been aged.
