What does the Anejo cellophane say?
One of my local shops just got in two boxes of the AF Holiday Sampler. The cigars inside are in a different order than the ones I've seen online, and there is nothing that says "Anejo". There are some marked "Extra Viejo" or something along those lines...is that them? If not, are there two holiday samplers going around?

Take a look at the band. At the bottom it says Anejo instead of Gran Reserva and has a white stripe.

They sound authentic to me ... great smokes - perhaps the best made. Try a couple. If you don't like them ... I'll take them off your hands! There are none for sale here in New York.

I believe it actually reads Beware: Over priced, ultra-hyped, and artificially rare cigar inside.

It says "Reserva Xtra Viejo" on the cello.

You're correct......Extra Viejo translates into Extra Aged
