Never really could obtain a taste for Fuentes. Superior craftsmanship, but just never fit my flavor profile. Felt that flavors were a harsher one demensional tobacco flavor. Having said that, I find it ironic that a good number of the Fuente fans that "I" know are either former or current cigarette smokers. Though I have never smoked cigarettes, I found that most of the Fuentes I've smoked reminded me of cigarettes. I do enjoy the WOAM's though.

Been through several boxes of the 858's in all wrappers they go like this;

Sungrown

Maduro

Rosado

Cameroon

Candela

The best thing about the rosado is it is good ROTT and is still a great morning smoke today.

All the rest I like to rest for a long time. Well except for the candela.

Been considering a few of the candela's, might be a year or more smoking a 5'er, in my rotation, and slow smoking, they hold up that long?

, or need to be smoked within 6 months?,

I've noticed candela's tend to lose flavor real quick, and get meh/bitter, or like old hay.

Love the Anejo's and 8-5-8 Maduro. Also, the 8-5-8 SG and the Power Ranger. Not so much the Cameroons as those do remind me of a cigarette.

Dave,

Have you ever tried a Best Seller Maduro?
