This limited edition Anejo Reserva No. 46 cigar comes out twice a year and is a true feast for the cigar aficionado: a dark maduro wrapper rolled around the best filler and binder from the Dominican Republic, then aged to perfection for 5 years in cognac barrels.

In the late 1990s Hurricane George swept through the Caribbean Sea leaving mass destruction in its path including the Dominican Republic and with it the Fuente’s Chateau de la Fuente tobacco farm. In case you didn’t know this farm is where the Fuentes grow their prized Fuente Fuente OpusX sun grown wrapper leaf. A few years later as a result of the storm they came upon a shortage of wrapper leaf for their OpusX cigars. Instead of halting production Carlos Fuente Jr. decided to wrap the cigars in an aged Connecticut broadleaf wrapper as opposed to the traditional sun grown wrapper and the Añejo was brought to life.

Released only during Christmas and Father’s Day, the Añejo uses a blend similar to the Fuente Fuente OpusX cigar but sports a five-year-old Connecticut broadleaf wrapper that has been aged in cognac barrels. This simple act of changing the wrapper creates an entirely different tasting cigar.

Currently there are seven vitolas in the Añejo line.
