CiCAR Review - Fuente 858 Sungrown (OR)
Cigar: Arturo Fuente 858 Sungrown - Rolled in 2000, released in 2003
Size: 6x47
Country of Origin: Dominican Republic
Wrapper: Ecuadorian Sun Grown
Binder: Dominican
Filler: Dominican
Date of Purchase/Price/Location: N/A
Date of Burn/Time: 08/11/08 - 1pm-215pm
Food Pairing: none
Drink Pairing: none

Prelight:
Smell: raisin, rum, nuts, musty goodness
Construction: perfect in every way

Initial burn:
Flavor: There is a great deal of burning wood (cedar; oak, rum, nuts, and floral hints
Draw: Medium (preferred)
Burn: Even with easy lighting

Mid-burn:
Flavor: The wood burn taste is throughout paired with bread and nuts and is reminiscent of licorice (mild hints)
Draw: Same
Burn: Even
Additional: Strong, firm ash that is white

End burn:
Flavor: Same as Mid-Burn down to the nub

Overall:
Impression: This cigar was rolled in 2000 and released in 2003's Christmas contest. These "OR" (original release) cigars are perfect. I wish I had 10 boxes of them, so I could smoke one every day. This one was similar to an aged Anejo...perfect in every way! It never burned hot and tasted good til the end!

Smoke Time:
75 minutes

Rating:
98 - It was almost perfect! The best cigar I have had in a long, long time...Probably since the last OR 858SG I smoked!!!

PS - In case you were wondering, yes, that is the Bucs stadium in the background of the 5th picture!!!
