I just finished up an Anejo with over a year of age on it. Just like Opus, the year did great things for this cigar.
The draw and burn on this cigar were both perfect, no problems at all. After lighting, the first flavor I got was a sort of fruity flavor, just like I always get from Opus, which was very nice. As the smoke progressed, I got nut and wood flavors that were pleasent. During the last third, the spice really picked up, but it wasn't overpowering at all. The nut and wood flavors remained during this last third as well.
The cigar was smooth, complex, and very enjoyable throughout. If you get some of these, really try to save a few for a year, they become very good. Not that they aren't good without age, but I think the extra time really helps.

Your review has inspired me...
I just finished smoking my first Shark, and I have to say, your review was dead on accurate.
