Nov 6th 2011 - Arturo Fuente Anejo

Today's cigar is the Arturo Fuente Anejo Reserva Extra No. 55 in a 6x55 vitola. The Fuente family is known for putting out only the highest quality of cigars. Hailing from the Dominican Republic with all it's fillers coming from there the Anejo features a 5-year-old Connecticut maduro wrapper aged in a cognac barrel. This cigar features a woody sweet core with hints of earth and spice on the finish. I chose this to be today's cigar because a good buddy of mine smoked one yesterday to celebrate some good things going on. He hasn't had a lot of those lately and wanted to celebrate the upswing for him by dedicating the blog to him. You know who you are brother and you'll continue to be in my thoughts and prayers...
