The Flor Fina 8-5-8 is one of the most storied cigars in the Arturo Fuente portfolio, sitting within the house's classic Gran Reserva lineup. Carlos Fuente Sr. has recounted that his father showed him how to blend the tobaccos for the shape that became the Flor Fina 8-5-8, and that the family named it 8-5-8 after Arturo Fuente passed away at the age of 85 — a palindromic number that reads the same from both directions, chosen as a tribute to him. Arturo Fuente cigars trace back to 1912, when Arturo Fuente founded the company in West Tampa, Florida; today the 8-5-8 is handmade by the Fuente family in the Dominican Republic.
A perfectly aged African Cameroon wrapper over Dominican binder and filler tobaccos, hand rolled with long filler in the Dominican Republic at 6 x 47. The silky, slightly toothy Cameroon leaf carries a Colorado Claro cast and lends the blend its sweetness, while the aged Dominican leaf underneath supplies the balance the 8-5-8 is known for. Box count: 25 cigars.
A smooth, well-balanced and decidedly cedary smoke, with the silky sweetness characteristic of a well-aged Cameroon wrapper. Expect notes of cedar, roasted and toasted nuts, cream, and a soft baking-spice sweetness that builds gently through the cigar. Consistency rather than dramatic transition is the hallmark here — it is an even, refined profile from light to finish.
Alcoholic: A light rum, a craft lager, or a dry white wine. Non-Alcoholic: A medium-roast coffee or a light tea.
An excellent all-day smoke. Allow 60-75 minutes.
