Matt, a sweet smoke you got there! Yep, the Sungrown 8-5-8's are like hen's teeth compared to the maduro or natural versions.

That is a real shame, it was a great smoke. How do the Natural and Maduro compare?

Well, in general the Sun Grown wrapper that Fuente uses is just sweeter and more full of flavor IMHO. The wrapper is not as plentiful as the natural or maduro that Fuente uses on their other smokes. So, they only make few 8-5-8 boxes with it compared to the Chateau, Double Chateau, Royale Salute, King B and others. So, the people that like the 8-5-8 series are really in for a treat when they find a box or even a few Sun Grown wrapped 8-5-8's. I've seen prices for a box of Sun Grown 8-5-8's here in the US for up to $250! I mean, that's nuts really, but some people are willing to pay for it. Considering the 8-5-8's in natural or maduro command roughly $100-$110 a box, the rareness of the Sun Grown version is obvious. Anyway, glad you got your hands on one and that you liked it! If I find some more in my travels, I will be sure to send one or two your way across the pond

Wow, that is abit of a price difference. How do the other sun grown wrapped smokes hold up against the 858. I see that alot of online places have quite a few vitolas with sun grown wrappers. Just not the 858

They 858 has the same wrapper as the King B. Those 2 are different from the other Fuente Sun Growns. If you find some King B's they are very good also. They are a rare one too, but not as bad as the 858's.
