Arturo Fuente 8-5-8 Rosado Sun Grown (6 1/2 x 47) Cigar
Cigars can't be returned once shipped. Damaged or wrong items replaced or refunded. Returns
The 8-5-8 Rosado Sun Grown is the rarest expression of Arturo Fuente's classic Flor Fina 8-5-8 and one of the most sought-after cigars the Fuente family has ever made. The original 2002 release consisted of just 87 boxes of 50 cigars sent to only 29 retailers nationwide who won a Fuente contest; it was reissued in 2009 in smaller 20-count boxes and returned again in 2018 as a trade show release. What sets it apart from the standard 8-5-8 is its scarce Ecuadorian Rosado sun grown wrapper, the same rare leaf Fuente has used on offerings such as the King T and Magnum R.
An Ecuadorian Rosado Sun Grown wrapper over Dominican binder and filler tobaccos, handmade at Tabacalera A. Fuente y Cia. in Santiago, Dominican Republic, at ring gauge 47. The binder origin is left undisclosed by the factory. The cigar carries the gold foil Flor Fina 8-5-8 cello marking and a cedar sleeve, with recent releases presented in boxes of 20.
Rich and complex — dark fruit, leather, cedar, earth, and a distinctive rosado sweetness from the wrapper. Medium to full strength with exceptional complexity and a long, memorable finish.
Alcoholic: A premium aged rum or a full-bodied red wine. Non-Alcoholic: A dark roast espresso.
A special occasion cigar. Allow 60-75 minutes.
