So I just polished off an Arturo Fuente 858. I enjoyed it and thought it was really mellow overall. Since I'm trying to learn the flavors, it was a little disappointing that this one didn't seem to change up a lot. It started like a bitter chocolate, joined by some fragrant wood about halfway through. When I got close to the band I got a few strong doses of pepper, then everything merged and mellowed out towards the end. I'd definitely try these again.
