This review is about the Arturo Fuente Anejo No. 55 torpedo. The Anejo's are limited and only come out once per year. This one is from last year near Father's Day so it's has been in my humidor for about 9 months.

The cigar is wrapped in cedar and celo with a special label.

The wrapper is dark maduro and this one had some nice plume (sorry it is hard to see in my crappy phone shots). Construction was great. It burned evenly the entire length with no touch-ups. The burn line was almost non-existent as you can see in the pictures.

The head is tightly packed with tobacco so I had to cut a bit more than I usually for the draw I like. In the end the dry draw was even and just right. The whole cigar smelled strongly of aged tobacco with a hint of sweetness.

For the first third you can really tell this is an aged cigar. Even though it has nice flavor it is exceptionally smooth. Goes through the nose with no burn at all. Nice tobacco flavors.

On the second third a bit more complexity with some added leather and strong dark chocolate. Still very smooth

On the last third it got a bit peppery but never bitter. I smoked it to a nub, but here is the last picture which was a bit before that point.

At all times the cigar easily held an inch or so of ash. I'm smoking indoors so I usually don't test it since I'm lazy and don't want to pull out the dust buster. LOL.

This was a very nice stick that shows its aging and the care put into it. I've got a couple more of these to hold me over until this Father's Day and hope to pickup a different size this year to try something new. It's been too long so I don't remember the price but I think about $12.

Excellent review - I had one of these a couple of weeks back and I really, really enjoyed it. One of the first cigars I had where I was able to pick out the flavor changes as the smoke progressed.

Very nice review.

Love the 55 as well as the 77 Shark and 50 robusto. Definitely a must buy if you can find them.

Thanks for the review. I just opened up my box and had one. Fantastic smoke. I agree with your thoughts. At $12, you paid a fair price as well.

I love all the Anejo line, the 77 is my favorite, but I buy them where ever I can find them.

Have some of these in my humidor right now as well. I don't know exactly where at the moment cause it's a mess, but I know those beauties are snuggled away, safe from fire for the time being.

Just a slight correction. The Anejo's are released twice per year. Just before Father's Day and just before Christmas. The only Fuente's I can smoke with pleasure. Good cigars.

Oh, next time, don't cut so high on the cigar (torpedo). You might as well be smoking a parejo. :-)
