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.
