Not exactly. The blend for Anejo's is a combination of Don Carlos, Hemingway Series and Opus X.

Good catch Greg, that seems to be one of those pieces of misinformation / misunderstandings out there that just never seems to die.

Is it not grown at the same farm as the Opus X blend? What other blends come from vega fina de tabaco at the Fuente Fuente farm? If there are misconceptions about where exactly certain tobacco is grown, I would ( I'm sure others as well) like to know more about the Opus and Fuente production information.

Just because it's grown on the same farm doesn't make it the same blend. It just means that it came from the same farm.

A filler blend refers to a specific combination of tobacco leaves. Any variation in proportion of a specific leaf, it's priming on the plant or the varietal of tobacco plant it was taken from creates a new and different blend.
