Of all the nc's laying around here that have caught a good amount of age, the Anejo is the only one I can confidently say that really hangs on to some spark. Litto's LGD line does well, just thought of that one.
Time will bear it out. I'd be willing to bet you dinner on it, my friend. Whatta ya think, steaks or Mexican?

Scott, your opinion of the cigar and how it compares to Sancho Panza doble maduros or the 5 Vegas A line is just that, your opinion. I have made no comments on those statements. I think it's great that you feel you can buy a $2-$3 5 Vegas A and for your own enjoyment, get the same profile. Not everyone seems to agree with you, but, I'm honestly glad that you can get off that cheap.
It's your authoritative claims as to the potential of these cigars that I'm addressing. You even went so far in your word of god claims to say that Jonathan, Saka and Brooks all had already proven your statements, when in reality, all that had been said was a benign review by Charlie (not Brooks) and some random commentary by Saka about a different cigar.
If you wish to believe that you have some crystal ball about cigar aging, go for it. Just remember, not even Saka nor Jonathan would come out and make such authoritative statements, and each one of them knows more than the both of us combined. And to top it off, they blended the cigar that you claim to be an expert on after smoking but a single sample.
