Review Notes: I started smoking these ten years ago. Back then they were relatively unknown and you could get them for 2.00 per. Like any good cigar, their popularity increased and so did the price. Regardless, they remain well worth the price. Appearance, flavor, and construction are all top notch. Whenever I buy a cigar for a newbie, I always turn to this one, and they are never disappointed. Medium bodied and smooth, I recommend this wholeheartedly.

Review Notes: I have been a longtime fan of Hemingways and Don Carlos...OpusX, too. That said, this 858 is a solid mild to medium bodied smoke for those who like a lighter palate profile. Nice wrapper...good aroma...great construction and draw...tons of billowy smoke and a pleasant finish. It has that grassy, woodsy taste that Fuente is famous for...similar to a Hemingway, but it lacks that little sweet smack. Overall, nicely done...I enjoyed it with a few cold ones and it was perfect. I would expect more when I am sitting down with a glass of aged spirits and more in the moment...but for a casual smoke, you can't beat it.

Review Notes: A good looking cigar. pre-light smells like cigar box. I agree with Weezy's previous entry. The prodominant flavor is woodsy- cedary to me. The most interesting fact about it was how pronounced it was in the stick that I had. IN the background it was a medium bodied smoke with really no other flavors I could distinguish. Good draw and burn.

Review Notes: real good smoke

Review Notes: This cigar has many reviews, mostly positive, and here's another. It has a rugged and veiny wrapper. While the draw is quite firm, the burn is even and the ash very well formed. Has pleasant, balanced flavors of sweet wood, grass, and light spices. Ends a tad hot and harsh, with a grassy taste on the finish. A nice mild to medium bodied smoke that can be enjoyed without a beverage.
