Bonfire Smoke
Bonfire Smoke
I just received a 5 pack of the new Anejo #60 from Isy two days ago. They are good looking sticks and a perfect size. I decided to smoke one last night.
The stick was soft with a very hard head. Beautiful dark wrapper with no flaws. I punched the end and the prelight draw was nice. The tobacco was sweet to the lips. I torched the foot and it fired up nicely.
After a few smoke filled puffs I thought it was going to develope an uneven burn, but after a few more puffs it was fine. The first third had some very nice peppery spice notes. Just right. Each puff produced a large amount of white smoke. The draw continued to be perfect. The ash was thick and held nicely until I ashed after about one and a half inches.
The middle part of the stick continued to burn well and draw well. I began to pick up on some hints of leather and the spice remained mild.
Toward the end the spicey flavors began to dominate again, but there was still that touch of leather and some wood tones. The tobacco remained sweet on the lips, very nice. The burn and draw remained perfect. I checked for any evidence of tar and there was no build up at all. The punch actually remained quite dry. Needless to say, I took this to the nub wanting more.
Another fine Fuente product and a perfect size in the Anejo family.
