The 8-5-8 Maduro....

I've heard of these beauties but never tried them as I have jumped head first into cigars the past year or so and am drowning in cigars to smoke. A cigar lounge in my area had a Fuente tasting where you can buy 3 and get 1 free so some friends and I went. I bought the 858 Maduro, a Don Carlos, a Short Story, and a Chateau Sun Grown. I smoked the 858 there and WOW is all I can say. The flavors hit my palate immediately and I was impressed throughout the entire smoke.

Needless to say I cleaned them out of whatever Maduros they had left and got a Natural to try as well. :thumbs:

I've already been looking at box prices (what's wrong with me?). lol

I'd love to try that Sun Grown 858 as well but haven't been able to find any.

Yep 858 Sungrowns, Candelas, Natural, Maduro, and the elusive Rosado. All good smokes IMHO.

gunsandcigars88 that is too generous! PM incoming.
 
Nice play guns...Those '02's are very tasty...Let me know if you want to sell a few.. :whistling:
 
Oddly enough I find them a little mild, despite being an absolute Fuente whore. The red and black band ones (are they the Spanish line? I should know that...) are wonderful. Beautiful Fuente flavor with a slight sweetness in the background. Yummy!
