Arturo Fuente 8-5-8 Flor Fina Review

I just finished smoking a Arturo Fuente 8-5-8 Flor Fina. This was a pleasantly mild/medium smoke that held my attention the whole way through. It was mild/medium smoke with a buttery notes and nutty tones the whole way through. The burn was even and had a good ash. Overall I'm very impressed and would definatly buy again.

Re: Arturo Fuente 8-5-8 Flor Fina

I had a corona imperial maddie this past week and over the past couple of years have gotten the 8-5-8s and chateau fuentes and they just don't do anything for me anymore. I used to love them. I guess my tastes are changing to a stronger smoke.

Nice review.

I have to say that this cigar is the first really good cigar that I ever smoked. They are always, consistently good.

I just purchased two boxes of these (natural and maddie) and a box of Chateau Fuente's. Great smokes.

Re: Arturo Fuente 8-5-8 Flor Fina

This is a great smoke. As others have said they are consistent. I now prefer a more full bodied stronger cigar, but I still smoke one occasionally. Glad your enjoying them!

Re: Arturo Fuente 8-5-8 Flor Fina

Excellent choice of Fuente cigar.

The 858 is a great cigar. If you ever get a chance to try a 858SG do it.

Great smoking cigar the 858.

Re: Arturo Fuente 8-5-8 Flor Fina

I'm thinking of buying a box of these. Already have 2 boxes of the 858 mad's, but recently smoked a natural which I bought in '05. It was smooth and luscious. There are 2 left in my humi from the 12/05 purchase, I hesitate to smoke them except when the moon, stars, sun, breeze and temp. are perfectly in accord. Larry.

Great smoking cigar the 858.
The SG and the candella (bit easyer to find) are both worth the search, IMHO
