Arturo Fuente Gran Reserva Flor Fina 8-5-8 Natural is a classic medium-bodied 6 x 47 Corona Grande handmade in the Dominican Republic at Tabacalera A. Fuente. One of the most recognizable cigars in the Arturo Fuente portfolio, the 8-5-8 Natural features a silky African Cameroon wrapper over aged Dominican binder and long fillers.
The Cameroon wrapper defines the cigar’s character, contributing a fragrant sweetness, cedar-like woodiness, toasted nuts, and a signature touch of sweet baking spice. Aged Dominican tobaccos provide a smooth and creamy core, balancing the wrapper’s aromatic qualities with notes of leather, hay, light coffee, and sweet tobacco.
Expect notes of sweet cedar, cream, toasted almonds, cashew, honey, hay, light coffee, leather, cinnamon, baking spice, and gentle white pepper. The 47-ring gauge keeps the flavors focused and refined, while the six-inch length gives the cigar enough time to develop gradually through a cool, consistent smoke.
Flor Fina 8-5-8 Natural is an excellent choice for fans of classic Dominican craftsmanship, Cameroon-wrapper cigars, and smooth, balanced everyday smokes. Its approachable medium body makes it equally enjoyable for newer smokers and experienced palates seeking a dependable, nuanced cigar.
Pair it with black coffee, cappuccino, aged rum, wheated bourbon, Irish whiskey, an oaked chardonnay, or a crisp Belgian-style ale.

Curious that this cigar had no reviews. It appears in so many top 10 lists from a great starting cigar, to a mild to med favorite. Honestly this is a great smoke. It is a perfect everyday cigar. Nice smooth flavor with hints of spice. Burns nice and a great draw.
This cigar is a top list cigar for a reason. Glad a bought a few to see what the hype was all about.

Natural cap flavor, not bitter. Good draw and good burn all the way to the nub. A mild-medium cigar with tobacco and nutmeg flavoring. The last two inches became very tarry and I was not able to finish. I would rate this an 88 overall.

I found this cigar to be very smooth and was smooth right to the end not harsh at all ordering more now

Bought this after all the great reviews and it definitely lived up to the expectation! The person I was smoking with (newbie) also really enjoyed theirs, definitely a mild-medium. Smooth and consistent flavor all the way through, a little spicier at the end but not overly harsh. Will be buying many more of these in the future.

Definitely earns the 5 star for people new to cigars. I agree with a previous review that the last bit gets a tad oily but as long as your cut is clean it’s not too bad I think.
Will happily be ordering more.

Amazing cigar, A medium cigar that starts off a bit peppery, and then the second third starts to get a bit sugary. Finally the last third tastes fruity almost cherry like. Highly rated amongst cigars I’ve tried and is of great value. Best non-cuban cigar I’ve had in a while.

Very good construction, however the flavor notes are not over the top. One dimensional flavor, I feel that there are more flavourful at this price point.

I really liked this cigar. Perfect construction and burn. The cap has a nice sweet flavor. It’s a medium strength cigar that isn’t too spicy. A good choice for when the situation calls for a very premium cigar.

Absolutely loved this one. Not my usual buy, but honestly ended up being in my top 3. Great burn all the way through, great taste as well. It doesn’t get harsh as you come close to the end. Really nice with a Stout, might pair with Espresso next time. I will definitely purchase again.

Arturo Fuente has quickly become my top choice overall. The 8-5-8 Natural never disappoints. Great construction, and perfect draw. I’ve never had a bad stick. Although they can burn fast so take your time with this one. I get lots of earthy, musty, cedar, fruity and leather flavours. Pairs great with almost any drink. Incredible smoke production. At this price point the value is incredible!
Customer service was awesome, Josh was quick to answer my questions about packaging. Doesn’t hurt that these are still original labels and boxes!

Very enjoyable cigar. Medium body, mix of sweat with wood and leather. I didn’t get the pepper hit like I have with other AF cigars. Will be getting this again.

I’m a new cigar smoker so not the best at identifying certain tastes yet. This one has almost a slight sugary taste halfway into the cigar and is by far one of the most flavourable cigars I’ve smoked. I’ve tried rocky patel sungrown maduro, don tomas’ robusto and brickhouse cigars and this one definetly stands out.
