The Anejo line uses the famed Opus X binder and filler blend, but offers a Connecticut-grown maduro wrapper for an especially hearty taste.
A total of 20 cigars were offered individually and despite a suggested retail price of $9.25, bidding quickly shot up with one buyer winning a single cigar for $59.95! The next-highest bid was $32.00 and the other eight winning bidders offered between $31.05 and $30.00 at the low end.
All told, 10 winning bidders paid a total of $638.11 for the 20 cigars, an average of $31.91 each!
