A. Fuente 858 Maduro

[cls515]

Did a search and couldn't find a review, so I thought I'd put my impressions down. I tend to judge cigars based on my two favorite Fuentes, the Hemingway Signature and the Petit Corona. The 858 is also a great cigar to me and comes close to the Signature. The first two thirds is a mild smoke with a great tobacco taste. The last third comes alive with a little spice to finish the cigar nicely. Great cigar.

I concur. 858 is one of my favorite cheaper smokes($3.75/ea)

By far my fav 858 is the sun grown... Too bad they're so danged hard to find!!! (I haven't tried the rosado yet - those are even harder to get a hold of - me thinks I'd like it because I'm partial to the rosado wrapper).

If you like the 858 - try the Partagas Rosado's - to me, they are a similar type smoke - and very pleasant as well!!!

Some reviews can be found here. I like the maduros better than the naturals. And like ggeise, I'm partial to the SG wrappers.

Now a rosado wrapper sounds tastey!


Thanks for the review,I like the maduros myself.

Had my first one this weekend and your review is right on. The change in profile is very pronounced over the last half of the smoke and that is with a cold and limited taste. I cant wait to try the other two I have sitting since January.

I have one of these in my humi waiting for me to try. Atleast I'm hearing some good things about it.

Just to keep the good feeling going...

The 8-5-8 is one of my favorite regulars, which in addition to it's great taste is also a very nice burning cigar with a great draw.

I just had my first maduro 858 this weekend as well, and I really liked it. Great review!

I will have to start looking around for those SG's to try.

The new neighbors had a housewarming party last Friday, and to my pleasant surprise, the host pulled out a box of 858's (naturals) and passed them around. A very nice smoke, and if everybody likes the mad's better, I'm definitely looking forward to giving them a try
