Cuenca 5 Anniversary Torpedo Box Pressed Cigars - Box of 10

This cigar is definitely on my top 5 smokes. I just bought a box after smoking one i got as a present from a friend, pair it with a good rum and it's a match made in heaven (in this case it was an opthimus 25 which is amazing. Buying from the website is great too. 5 stars for me.

All the blogging buzz I read about the Cuenca 5 prompted me to try a five pack. I smoked my first stick on Saturday and I had to stop myself from having another on Sunday. I generally never want to smoke the same cigar back to back. Smooth and flavorful with a bit of a spicy kick along with some strength was how I experienced the smoke. A job well done by AJ the Cuenca's. This is a top tier smoke in my opinion. I will certainly be back for more and am looking forward to the other vitolas that I read are planned.
It'll be hard to top this one though as it was as beautifully constructed as it was good to smoke.

I absolutely love the Cuenca 5 Anniversary cigar but its not just that. Its the family feeling that you get from Cuenca Cigars. Everyone is a friend there whether its your first time or your 100th time. This is an amazing business that I will support for years to come. There are not enough starts to show how much I love this place..

I thought that you would like to know, When out on a shoot i brought two cigars with me ... a God of Fire double corona and a Cuenca 5 anniversary. Let me start with the wind was so strong, 20 to 30 miles per hour on the 18th floor that i choose the Cuenca to smoke because of the boxed pressed construction !!! I must say that i thought that the wind would have ruined the enjoyment of my smoke.... not to mention the cigar its self.... but to my surprise the Cuenca cigar smoked perfectly!!! From the moment that i light the cigar thru out the whole 2 hours that I smoked it.... it never burned uneven and never dropped the ash... After i had finished the shoot i had about a half an hour left on the cigar.... so I took it with me and we went down to the beach and the Elbo Room and that is where i sat and finished the rest of it !!!!! I love the Cuenca 5 Anniversary cigar !! (C) 2013 John Gillan (…)

This stout box press gem is a complex cigar with hints of coffee and spice with a background of cedar which makes it great with coffee in the morning or after a large steak dinner with a glass of port !! My pallet was watering as soon as i put my mouth on this one..... The Habano wrapper perfectly complements the fantastic blend inside which creates an amazingly smooth and flavorful experience .... The impressive size and construction makes this a must do cigar and i will always want to have a few on hand !!!

I can, without hesitation, tell that this is an A.J. Fernandez blend. Very expansive. Well balanced. BIG! Attacking your senses like a Bradley tank. It’s a powerful cigar in all ways it can be powerful.

I get a big wallop of creaminess. A dump truck full of earthiness. A nice nun’s ruler to the palate from red pepper. A sweet tobacco component. And the cocoa leading the charge.

The sweetness (a nutty dried fig flavor), the creaminess and cocoa turn this into a chocolate fig milk shake. The actual sensation of “sweet” leads the charge at the halfway point; making the other flavors subservient.

During the last couple of inches, power hits the tilt button and the cigar takes off. The spice I missed earlier, shows up in waves. Creaminess had become a way of expressing itself and completely gotten in a foot race with the red pepper. The cocoa only slightly trailed behind with the dried fruit sweetness a huge part of its profile.

The cigar goes out this way and I have a new favorite in the house.

Superb smoke. Amazing. Packed with flavor since the first puff, it screams AJ Fernandez. I could even say, better than San Lotano Oval, one of my favorites. Hints of caramel, and mellow red fruits. Burned incredibly, and the draw was perfect. I just can say only one bad thing about it... it didnt last forever :)

Had this cigar last night and I was completely blown away. I am a big San Lotano Maduro fan and this stick reminded me a lot of that except it had a very unique flavor to it and was much stronger. I will definitely be ordering more of these!

It is a perfect smoke, with a glass of Port and beautiful women. I wait for many more.
