I've got a Short Story in the humidor screaming "Smoke Me!" that I think I'm going to put off until next weekend, that'll give it a solid two weeks in there. B&M doesn't have any of the Aņejos but I'm on the lookout, Serious Cigars doesn't even have any...

TechMetalMan: Definitely pick up a Maduro Londres and a Maduro 858 Flor Fina next time you're in Serious, both were really good smokes.
Thanks for the tip bro. I'll make sure to do that sometime when I stop in. Probably when I'm in there to smoke and study for school The cigar should make it more bearable!

I can never find the sun-growns, which is what I really want to try. The other ones are such a great bang for the buck. I really love them.

Fly to Vegas - buy a few boxes - fly home with 'em. No problem...

Tell the wife the new car & exterior paint on the house can wait.

The 8-5-8 has become one of my favorite B&M purchases - along with Padron annis, over the past several months. Always try to keep a few in my humi now.

Re: AF 8-5-8 Flor Fina

As far as the finding these in sun grown... I've seen several online places that offer boxes of the 8-5-8s in three different wrappers... but none say Sun Grown specifically. Let me find some links so you guys can see what I'm talking about.

Here we go:

http://www.cigarplace.biz/shopping-c...rows=10&afid=&

Got Claro, Maduro and Natural as the wrapper options. By process of elimination Claro would have to be the Sun Growns here or am I missing something?

Here's another one with the same thing:

http://www.mikescigars.com/

^^ Direct link didn't work so find the 8-5-8s out of their selection to see the same color choices as the first link.

NVM... did a little looking around. I didn't realize they even had these in claro so that's a mistake on my part.

Re: AF 8-5-8 Flor Fina

Probably my favorite Fuente right now, although I have an anejo sitting in the humi from Detroit having a little rest and waiting for a good night. The 8-5-8 gives me a good floral flavor for the first 2/3, and straight chocolate the last bit.

Re: AF 8-5-8 Flor Fina

I really hope that these sticks are as consistently good as I've heard... because I tried my first of these this week, and it was really good!

I'm gonna pick up more of these...
