It is rolled at Tabacos de Costa Rica in Santiago de Puriscal. Previewed at the 2022 PCA trade show, it began shipping in late September 2022 as the first Alfonso line in the United States; many US retailers call it Alfonso Extra Añejo. Nelson Alfonso has described it as a hybrid of his Atabey and Byron lines. The first US release came from 2017 production: five years of rest in cedar rooms, then a final stage in rooms lined with French oak. “Cedar is to cigars as oak is to wine,” he has said.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCigar Coop, halfwheel and Cigar Journal give the blend as an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper over an Ecuadorian Connecticut binder, with Peruvian and Nicaraguan ligero in the filler. Selected Tobacco prints its series name, “Producción Limitada,” on the boxes and tube packs, and Cigar Coop reports that the boxes of 25 reached US shops in two styles, a dress box and a rustic wood box. The first US shipment was 200 boxes of each size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe No. 5 is a 7 1\/2 x 58 Churchill, the widest size in the Añejos line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7 1\/2 x 58 Churchill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWrapper:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ecuadorian Connecticut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinder:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ecuadorian Connecticut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFiller:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peruvian and Nicaraguan ligero\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tabacos de Costa Rica, Santiago de Puriscal, Costa Rica\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBox:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25 cigars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eOffered by the single, the five-pack or the box of 25.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eNo. 5 Churchill FAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does Alfonso Añejos taste like?\u003c\/strong\u003e Selected Tobacco has not published tasting notes we could confirm; Nelson Alfonso has said he leaves his blends to the smoker's imagination.
