Anejos - shark vs. others?

[rrplasencia]

they are better with at least a year on them, i like the shark better because of the box press which give you a slower burn, first anejo i had i though was harsh i let the rest sit and realized what all the fuss was about

Yeah a nice '06 is a pretty damn good smoke right now...

I think they definitely need to rest and settle a bit just like the opus. However, they are usually pretty good at about 6 months which is unlike the opus which needs 2-3 years IMO...

I've had a Shark I got at Casa Fuente and I have also smoked a 46. They were both pretty good I guess. I don't think I would really ever buy them though.

If I am going to spend that much on a stick, I could rattle off 7 or 8 that I would want before an Anejo.

Still, I would like to smoke a few more before I give them a final thumbs up or thumbs down. So many people are just goofy over them. Plus, I had built up the Shark so much, it was my first Anejo and my first trip to Casa Fuente. Hard to live up to it.
