I have a local B&M that has a box for 200. I’m assuming the most recent release. Should I jump on them?

if they are the Flor Fina 8-5-8 ROSADO Sun Grown, jump on them...most places are out of stock, and those that have them are asking for $300/box +

if they are the Flor Fina 8-5-8 Sun Grown, pass... you can find boxes for 25% less (or even lower)

though the names are similar, the regular Flor Fina 8-5-8 Sun Grown is an annual regular production cigar...

the Rosado Sun Grown is a different cigar, different blend of leaves and less frequently produced

While that used to be the case, Fuente has not produced any 858SG in over a year so they are now HTF as well. When they were available they could be found for $145-$165 in my area. No shpo in my area has seen any since 2019. I'm still smoking from an older box from 2015.

I thought the SG’s were a fall release each year. So shouldn’t the 2020 release be around the corner?

That sucks!!! I was planning to get a box when they came out. I wonder that special shpo ships? I need to call them in the AM. Otherwise, I may need to go visit a couple of great botl and make a pit stop on the way.

I figured if anyone would was DED! You were kind enough to gift me a couple of the OR’s. Considering where I live that may be a good price. Might be worth a trip across the river.

King T sungrown rosado tubos are really good too and readily available.

I agree they are good but not near the same. I swear it's a different rosado wrapper but it must just be the blend that makes the 858 better IMO.

True it’s a lighter cigar with less depth, but I think it’s geared towards a newer smoker. Just an option

Jump on them? Depending on how bad you really want them. What's the tax rate where you'd buy them? In my area, it's somewhere around 42% on tobacco, so that's a pass for me.


Check your PMs.
