The Gran Reserva series stands as the cornerstone of Arturo Fuente Cigars, with the Flor Fina 8-5-8 being its most celebrated size. This cigar features a toothy, visually striking Cameroon wrapper encasing a meticulously blended set of binder and filler tobaccos from the Dominican Republic. Post-cutting, the tight cold draw offers hints of cider and spice. Upon lighting, the initially tight draw quickly loosens, allowing the cider and spice notes to evolve and be joined by a complementary woodsy flavor, with the spice growing in intensity during the first half. As the cigar progresses, the cider note gracefully transitions into a profound earthiness, perfectly harmonizing with the robust spices. The Flor Fina 8-5-8 boasts a medium to short finish and maintains an even burn throughout, eliminating the need for touch-ups.
