I know there are fans here of the 858 Sungrown, but what about the cammie wrapped natural? Any opinions? Worth $3 per? Thanks.

It's an excellent cigar, but one that I personally can't stand. $3/cigar is a very good price.

OK, I feel a little better now. I'm a Fuente novice and am not real familiar with their offerings. Lately, I've fallen in love with Hemingways and am starting to appreciate some of their other stuff.

I had won one lousy single at another site, and was trying to find something to add last night, to help defer the $5.95 flat rate shipping. I saw a box of 858s going for what I thought was cheap, and jumped on it for $74. It wasn't until after the auction closed that I realized that these where cammie wrappers, not the sungrown that I thought I was bidding on (I didn't know these came in 4 wrappers).

Since my tastes now lean toward medium/medium light, I'm sure I'll enjoy them. Thanks for the feedback.

The sungrown rosado and the original rosado are kind of rare though.

Whistlebitches,

Thanks, TG. As I said before, I'm a Fuente novice and appreciate the education. My first few years smoking cigars, I was a full body hoe. The more ligero, the better.
