The long churchill of Fuente's cognac-barrel-aged Añejo line — a stretched-out, richly flavored Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro for an unhurried evening.
Flavor profile
Sweet · Roast · Earthy
The Añejo No. 49 is the line's churchill — a long seven-and-a-half-inch cigar with a 49 ring gauge. It takes the scarce, cognac-aged Añejo blend and stretches it into a format built for a long, leisurely smoke.
What it tastes like
The hallmark Añejo character — dark chocolate, espresso, cedar, and leather, with that subtle cognac-barrel sweetness from the Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper — gets room to evolve over a near-two-hour smoke. It's medium-to-full and exceptionally smooth thanks to the aging, slowly deepening as you work down the long churchill.
Who it's for
An aficionado's choice for those who want maximum time with the Añejo blend and can find the seasonal release. The length makes it more of an occasion cigar than an everyday smoke. Pair it with an espresso, cognac, or aged rum and settle in.
If two hours is a lot, the No. 46 and No. 50 are shorter takes on the same tobacco. A long, aged cigar like this rewards proper storage — see how to store cigars. Rate it in the Casa DNC app.
