Arturo Fuente Anejo No. 60

Description

The Arturo Fuente Anejo No. 60 carries the same acclaimed pedigree as the rest of the Anejo line — a cigar born from a 1998 hurricane shortage that forced Fuente to pair Opus X’s exact filler and binder with a dark, cognac-aged Broadleaf wrapper instead.

Construction & Origin

Finished in a Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper aged for one to five years (depending on the batch) in oak cognac barrels, the No. 60 pairs that leaf with the same vintage Dominican binder and filler used across the Anejo family, hand-rolled at Tabacalera A. Fuente y Cia in the Dominican Republic. At roughly 6¼ x 48, it’s a substantial Corona Grande/Gordo format that gives the cognac-aged wrapper real room to develop. True to the line’s tradition, it’s released in genuinely limited batches only around Father’s Day and Christmas each year.

Flavor Profile

Medium-full to full-bodied, the No. 60 delivers cedar, dark chocolate, espresso, leather, and baking spice, with a distinctive cognac-kissed sweetness carrying through to a long, woody finish. Reviewers consistently praise its excellent, near-flawless construction, though as with any Anejo, individual boxes can vary — some reviewers note freshly-released cigars benefit from extra rest in the humidor to let the profile fully settle.

Why It’s Sought After

Being built on the same tobacco foundation as Opus X — long considered one of the most acclaimed cigars ever made — gives every Anejo vitola, including the No. 60, real pedigree beyond its own reputation. Combined with the twice-yearly release schedule and genuinely limited quantities each time, this remains one of the most consistently sought-after sizes in the entire Anejo lineup, described by longtime fans as inspiring a genuine “feeding frenzy” whenever a new batch arrives.
