Arturo Fuente Gran Reserva Flor Fina 8-5-8
Flor Fina 8-5-8 has a particular place in Fuente family history. The company dates its creation to 1975 as a tribute to Arturo Fuente, who had died in 1973 at age 85. That memorial background distinguishes the name from a simple measurement or sequential format number. Fuente’s current Gran Reserva card lists six inches with a 47 ring gauge. It includes Natural and Maduro alongside additional wrapper designations, making the selected wrapper part of the cigar’s identity within the named format. Cuban Corona is shorter and slightly narrower, while Corona Imperial is longer at a similar diameter. The 8-5-8 therefore connects a family commemoration with a middle-length position in Gran Reserva’s broad directory of cigars.
