Arturo Fuente Anejo cigars are medium to full-bodied and feature Maduro wrapper leaves aged in Cognac barrels. To create this masterpiece, Carlos Fuente combined rare Dominican vintage tobaccos with a rich and flavorful Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper. This line includes one of the world’s most famous shapes: the No. 77, also known as the Shark. In fact, the Shark is the first torpedo-shaped cigar ever rolled, starting as a rounded parejo shape and then being moved to a square press.

The Draw :

I did a V cut. The draw is constant and smooth with no resistance to it, but I did purge a few times.

The Burn :

Even burn with an excellent retro, major smoke output, and good ash burn

The Appearance :

It was wrapped with a single label with a white background, and the golden logo prominent with no the name of the cigar on this. along with a cedar under and a red ribbon on the foot.

Final Thoughts:

This is a unique and heavy cigar that is great and fool of depth and flavor but I would age it 4-10 years to bring out more of the sweetness
