Arturo Fuente 8-5-8 Maduro Review

[Goldwing]

$6. a stick on cigarbid
Medium-bodied

A little bitter in the beginning, slight coco with a dry pepper after taste, considered slightly sweeter taste than the regular line but i found the Arturo Fuente Añejo Reserva line sweeter and smoother but for $6. not a bad stick.

Some woody hints, especially in the second third but smoother, slight bitterness reappears in the last third. Sharp ash burn and slow and cool
Smoke Time: 1.25
Score: 7.5 out of 10

Better:
Casa Magna Gran Toro
Alec Bradley Maxx The Fix
Kristoff Maduro Robusto
Joya de Nicaragua Antano 1970
Man O' War Ruination Robusto #2

Love the 858 maddy's. A staple in my humi.

I have smoked a lot of these. One of my favorite go to cigars. I would pick that one over any of the other ones you mentioned.

These were kind of meh for me a couple of years ago for me (my first box purchase), now that they have rested I have a handful left and they are fantastic!

Thanks for the review, I'll have to get my hands on a maduro and try it. Although I have never tried the 858 maduro, I'm a big fan of the natural, it has nice subtle sweet notes which I like.

I need to do reviews of all my cigars every three months of the same sticks
Reviews are so subjective to the age and manner of storage
Thanks
