I had the pleasure of experiencing The Anillo for the first time at Definition Cigars’ Anniversary celebration at The Viso Cigar Lounge last Thursday and it quickly became clear why this cigar is generating a lot of buzz among enthusiasts.
The name “Anillo” means “ring” in Spanish, and this medium-bodied cigar certainly puts a ring around your attention from first light to final draw.
What makes The Anillo particularly intriguing is how it defies conventional wisdom featuring an Ecuadorian Habano Broadleaf wrapper that’s darker than you’d expect for a medium-bodied smoke.
This beautifully dark wrapper, complemented by the striking black and gold band, creates an elegant presentation that’s visually irresistible.
But The Anillo is far more than just good looks.
The marriage of Pennsylvania binder and Nicaraguan filler creates an outstanding flavor profile that keeps you engaged throughout the entire session.
The complexity is there without overwhelming the palate, making it an ideal choice for both seasoned aficionados and those still exploring premium cigars.
The construction is flawless, providing an effortless draw and even burn that allows you to focus solely on the evolving flavors.
Each third brings subtle transitions that reward patient smoking, encouraging you to savor every moment rather than rush through.
At $15.99 from Definition Cigars. The Anillo proves that you can’t judge a cigar by its wrapper alone. Definition Cigars has crafted something special here.
A sophisticated smoke that delivers exceptional flavor without the heaviness often associated with darker leaves.
Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, simply enjoying a quiet evening, or watching a game take it from me this is definitely one to add to your rotation.
