Anastasia Añejado 2016 Petite Pirámide Goes on Sale at Terrible Cigar Club

Two years ago, Caldwell Cigar Co. released the Anastasia Añejado 2016 in a 5 3/4 x 43 corona vitola. The Añejado cigars were rolled in between the release of the original green-banded Anastasia released in 2016 and the blue-banded version that shipped in 2018.

Unlike the original Anastasia cigars, which were made by Ernesto Perez-Carrillo Jr., these cigars used a different blend and were made at a different factory. When the Anastasia Añejado 2016 was released in 2022, Robert Caldwell told halfwheel there would be a second size released later that year. That size is a 6 x 46 petite piramides, but it wasn’t released in 2016.

Caldwell told halfwheel that 200 boxes were made, but 140 were destroyed. He ended up shipping the remaining 60 boxes to Terrible Cigar Club, an online retailer. After more than a year of delay, those cigars are finally now on sale, priced at $25 per cigar and limited to just 600 total cigars compared to the 120,000 Anastasia Añejado 2016 Coronas.

Blend-wise, the cigar uses a Dominican habano mejorado wrapper over an Indonesian binder and fillers from the Dominican Republic.
