                         1844 – Anejado 50-xtra

Origin: Nicaragua

Shape: Perfecto

Size: 6 x 50

Wrapper: San Andres

Filler: Nicaragua

Strength: Medium-Full

 

 

This is the my first experience with the 1844 brand and all I can say is wow…This is a medium to full bodied cigar leaning more to the full than medium, but not so strong you get light headed despite the long leaf Nicaraguan filler with a strong San Andres maduro wrapper. You get an earthy flavor to it with a small peppery flavor and a hint of a cedar finish.

 The 1844 is now in my regular rotation, the smoke is dark and a bit heavy, the ash is a dark grey ash with no flaking at all, the cigar produces a heavy ash so it may burn a bit hot at times. The constructions is perfect, chunky and with the small rolled tip at the end makes it is easy to light and helps for an even burn, the “perfecto” style shape feels great in your hand and in your mouth.

The size that I have chosen was a No.50 xtra which is a 6 x 50. I have seen these cigars in a local “brick and mortar” as well in multiple mail order catalogs so they are not real hard to find.

 I think the only bad thing I found with this cigar is it is only packaged in a box of 18, but still that will not sway this cheep bastard from purchasing them on a regular basis. The average price for this one is $50.00 U.S. and as of the past month I have seen them listed at sale prices of $40.00 bucks a box… Time to stock up on this one.

I would have to rate this stick a happy 6 1/2 out of 10.
