    8/5/8 is a dark beauty. With a soft and pleasant flavor, the Fuente is more than satisfying.

    Appearance : [rating:4.5/5]
    With a dark and grooved wrapper, 8/5/8 is perfectly filled – no soft spots were found.

    Construction : [rating:4.5/5]
    The draw was OK, I also noticed good burning qualities. Unlit, there was a light smell of humus. Rich clouds of soft smoke when I lit it up.

    Flavor : [rating:4.5/5]
    A little bitter in the beginning, the Arturo Fuente 8-5-8 rapidly develops mocha notes, which become richer and richer along with some woody hints, especially in the second third. These were the only flavors that I noticed, the bitterness reappears in the last third.

    Value : [rating:4/5]
    Could probably be less expensive 🙂

    Overall Rating : [rating:overall/5]
    I found this cigar a little monotonous, although it was a pretty good experience overall.

      Man, i just tried one of these about an hour ago and it tasted like dirt, literally. about the worst cigar I’ve had to date. Not sure if i need to dry box it and let it age a while but after this experience I wouldn’t smoke one if it was given to me for free.

      I really like the maduro .

      This is a great cigar and every time I read a review about them I get the idea of getting a box of them and can’t find them at the price I want. Sounds like a life long problem,,so many deals so little time.

      I loved those cigars long time ago… I’ll recomend it for beginners. But my palate have become more complex, and usually dont enjoy them so much. I recomend to try the 858 sun grown and maduro too.

      These are a decent smoke, and one I like to bring to a herf if only to have something mild, but tasty, for a newbie. They’re a much cheaper starter cigar than Macanudo.

      I also keep a small humi at the office for lunchtime getaways. I don’t keep anything that I’d cry over if they disappeared, so the Flor Fina and Chateau maddies frequently end up at the office.

      Fuente is a well made smoke and do enjoy one every once in a while

      this is my favorite of the normal Arturo Fuente line.

      The maduro is best. When I walk into one of my local cigar shops chances are I’m walking out with one of these.

      This is a good consistent cigar. This is one of the few fuente cigars that I prefer the maduro variety.

      I just LOVE this brand. Will probably send you a few reviews soon.

      Enjoyed a couple of those when I was on holidays in the Dominican Republic. That’s the most famous Dominican brand, that’s for sure.
