- One of the best cigars in the entire Arturo Fuente line. The 8-5-8 Flor Fina is a well-proportioned cigar with an attractive, perfectly-aged Cameroon wrapper that’s silky and sweet. The smoke is mild, cedary in character and well-balanced. Fantastic!

Farewell and adieu unto you Spanish ladies
Farewell and adieu to you ladies of Spain
For it's we've received orders for to sail for old England
But we hope very soon we shall see you again
With over 100 years of experience, the traditional art of crafting some of the world’s finest cigars continues at Arturo Fuente. The family known for not taking any short cuts in production, hand selects the fine tobaccos from their farm at Chateau de la Fuente.
The Gran Reserva Flor Fina 858 incorporates this Dominican filler and binder along with an African Cameroon wrapper. The top-quality construction affords a long, steady burn and uniform flavors of cedar and peppery spice. This is one helluva cigar which can be found online at a great price when shopping at elcigarshop.com. A perfect after dinner smoke if ever there was.
So, after dining on rib eye and Porterhouse steaks recently with friends, we stopped into the restaurant’s private cigar room. There awaited an array of Fuentes. With so many choices of vitolas , I finally opted for a medium-bodied Gran Reserva Flor Fina and matched it with a beautiful snifter of Hennessy V.S.O.P Privilège. The cognac with notes of vanilla, clove and and oak did not disappoint. After our most enjoyable smoking session we sang in the streets:
Farewell and adieu unto you Spanish ladies
Farewell and adieu to you ladies of Spain
For it's we've received orders for to sail for old England
But we hope very soon we shall see you again…..
Now let every man toss off a full bumper
And let every man drink off a full glass
And we'll drink and be merry and drown melancholy
Singing, here's a good health to each true-hearted lass
(From Spanish Ladies- Traditional Sea Song)
