Description
The Arturo Fuente Flor Fina 8-5-8 Maduro sets a dark Connecticut broadleaf wrapper around a Dominican binder and filler in a 6 x 47 format. Arturo Fuente catalogs the Flor Fina 8-5-8 under its Gran Reserva series in several wrapper versions, and this is the maduro.
What It Tastes Like
Cigar Aficionado reviewed the Flor Fina Maduro 8-5-8 in October 2007, awarding 87 points and a mild-medium strength rating. Despite a somewhat coarse leaf, it drew and burned evenly, offering cinnamon, cocoa and toasted almond flavors before a finish the panel likened to paper. Neptune Cigar lists it as medium, citing coffee, vanilla and sweetness.
Who It’s For
- 8-5-8 Natural smokers curious about the same frame under broadleaf.

About the Flor Fina 8-5-8
