"Ever smoke the perfect cigar?"
This cigar approaches perfection. From it's gorgeous appearance, to the smooth draw, it is sheer bliss from tip to cap. Of the few cigars in my humidor, a large percentage carries the 8-5-8 tag, and the price is very reasonable. Thank you sir, may I have another?

"Just Try It"
I enjoy an 8-5-8 with some good tawny port. They're a match made in heaven. The cigar can stand on its own too. Medium bodied with great flavor and a good draw. This is another great burn by Fuente, and priced right.

"The Arturo Fuente 8-5-8"
I did a review on the Hemingway Classic a little while ago...the reason I bring that up is because the 8-5-8 reminded me of it. Even though the 8-5-8 is not as exquisite as the Hemingway series, it is still an excellent cigar. I loved everything about it, so much in fact, that I am looking forward to buying myself a box...along with a box of Hemingways. It's burn is very good, with a smooth draw, and holds together nicely. The taste is very nutty, with a hint of pepper. The left over aroma is very annoying...only because it gives you the urge to open that humidor and grab another.

"858s next to Heaven"
8-5-8 Maduro is the closest thing I've come across to smoking and OpusX out there, maybe the Hemingway is a little closer but it is debatable. From what I understand the 858 Mad is filled with the same tobacco that is used in a couple sticks from the OpusX line. Might explain the similarity in draw and consistent quality. Highly recommend you pick the 858 up.

"Great smoke"
Wonderful cigar with a rich, semi-sweet character.
This one is now one of my favorites just behind the 'Perdomo La Tradition Rosado'. The guy who hates it must not smoke cigars, maybe something else. Perhaps he's missing a few cards from the deck.

"This cigar sucks!!!!Please do not order this brand"
This is the worst cigar ever made.I reccomend that it be avoided if given away.
I only have it as my favorite to save anyone else the displeasure of smoking it.

"TERRIFIC"
This is what a cigar should be like. Enjoyed every minute of it - hated to put it out.

"Better than the higher priced Hemingway"
I have smoked most of the Fuente line and I keep returning to the 858 Maduro which is always consistent in its overall taste and draw.

"Excellent cigar. Best I've smoked in a long time."
This cigar has almost taken over the #1 spot as my favorite cigar. It ranks just behind the Butera Royal Vintage Fulma Dolce. Excellent flavor with no harsh aftertaste.
