Arturo Fuente 858 Sun-grown Review

[auchmere]

This may be a foolish question as it seems that everyone is having a problem finding them as well, but I was hoping someone could point me to an online dealer. I can't seem to find them on any where, not even as "out of stock" but simply aren't listed. Any help out there for me?

Try Tampa Humidor. I was in there yesterday and bought a box of 858 maduros. I'm not sure that they had a box of the sungrowns as I wasn't looking for them but they typically will.

You're not likely to be able to find any on normal retailer sites - you'll have to go to individuals to get them.

Last year (just before Christmas) was the first time in I believe 6 years that there were any released - and they were snapped up pretty fast. These were never part of the regular production lines

They've been released later than that. I was able to snag a box back in '05 or '06 from my local B&M. Fortunately for me, the manager didn't know what they were and thought they were just another 858. He put the box out on the shelf and I jumped all over it when I saw them.

These are tasty sticks! Too bad they aren't a regular release.

My favorites!!

The B&M I go to always has them and as long as I have a ten or more dollars I'll stop there and buy as many as I can or buy a box if I have money like that at the time. Down to my last 4 and must re stock.

I believe he sells them for 5.90 a stick. I plan on filling my humi up with nothing but AF 858's. Perfect price and great taste.

It's a small corner shop that doesn't have much but will order anything you ask for.

I just like the whole small tight nit everyone knows everyone stores like that.

Cheers

Sorry, you were right - they haden't been rolled in about 6 years http://www.vitolas.net/displayimage.php?pos=-495

8-5-8 SG are a very nice smoke, they make Opus and Anejos seem easy to find.

Thanks for the info! Even better! That means they have some good age on them when you find them
