Neat band idea. So far I really like this cigar. Lots of peppery spice.

Breaking into my top 15 cigars......PVNISHER MMXI SHORTY. This thing is delicious. Love the spice on lips followed by a sweet tobacco. Need to find more only have 4 left.

I forgot to mention, when I pulled the cedar off this cigar there was some mold on it. Larger white dots (about 8 of them) spread out randomly over the cigar. I wiped the dots off and smoked it and it was still an excellent cigar so no harm done.

Last night I remembered about that and checked the last two I have and they are just fine (no mold). Thought I'd toss a heads-up at everyone else who bought some. As big a PITA as it is, you might want to check any you have remaining in case the mold was passed on to any others in the box. With luck it's unique to the one I had but I'd hate to see someone hanging on to one of these for a special occasion and months later pull the cedar off to find it fully covered in a nice thick layer of mold......

Hate to say it but unfortunately it can be inherent in Anejo's due to their composition - the wrapper contains quite a bit of the sugars molds need to thrive. Like most other dark wrapper cigars, they're more susceptible to mold.

I wasn't aware so thanks for the info, I'll definitely keep that in mind!

I remove the cedar from my anejo's for exactly this reason.....especially if they are going into the storage cooler. Haven't had a problem with them for several years now.

**BowhuntnHoosier** · 03-21-2014, 02:51 PM

Going to remove mine when I get home. Thanks for the info.

Good tip, thanks. I'll try to do that this weekend.

Excellent choice in cigars sir.

My cigar on 3/20 was an Añejo 49 and on 3/21 it was an Añejo 60.

My box of 60's had been sitting sealed for over three months and when I opened the box yesterday, there was mold under the cedar on the one I pulled out to smoke. I didn't pay much attention to it and just wiped it off and it smoked fine.

I'll have to remember this for the future. I found it impossible to get the cellophane back on with the cedar in place (I like that the cello protects the cigars so I prefer to leave it on mine) so left the cedar off mine after checking........lol..........next time it'll be on purpose!

That's what I did too. I figured there wasn't enough mold on that one cigar to affect the taste. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it didn't taste moldy so I must have caught it in time.
