The Don Diego Anniversario was a step up from the classic Don Diego, released to mark a milestone for the brand and built on a more complex blend. Rather than the traditional Connecticut shade wrapper, the Anniversario uses an Ecuadorian wrapper over a more layered filler combining Dominican, Nicaraguan, and Peruvian tobaccos with a Connecticut binder. The added Nicaraguan and Peruvian leaf brings more depth and body than the core line, while the Ecuadorian wrapper gives it a richer, slightly more substantial character. Offered in six vitolas, it was priced above the original Don Diego but still within accessible territory for a premium anniversary release.
