Anejos need at least a year (possibly more for the bigger sizes), otherwise imvho they are kinda flavorless. But after a little age, they are amazing cigars! I bought around 20 last year intending to age them for a few (I normally don't buy cigars that expensive, but made an exception for these!).

It was actually at least 4 years old, probably more, and the cello was even starting to get a yellow tint to it. Still sucked.

Fuente fan checking in.

I agree that the lower end lines are a tad boring, but I like pretty much all the rest. Opus X and Casa Fuente are the best in my opinion, but I have only smoked one Anejo. Unfortunately it was after a fair amount of beers, and the cigar didn't leave an impression on me. The Don Carlos and Hemingway lines are some of my regular rotation smokes.
