What's the deal with the 858 Sun Grown? Are they regular production or limited edition? 

Only released to shops that "won" the holiday window display "contest"
in 2000-2003....2-4 boxes each IIRC....no release in 2004. Now
available at the Casa Fuente in the Caesar's Palace Forum Shops.
Originally MSRP was appx $5, but they quickly started selling on Yahoo
Auctions for $175-$250/box. IIANM they are now priced at Casa Fuente
somewhere in the mid $200's. So, yes, limited release.



I was in Casa Fuente today and they are sold out.  :-(

Rosado 858's? 


Very good...... IMO :).....tastes like a 858SG, with an Opus wrapper
substituted. Very, VERY rare, as they were only released twice, in
cabs of 50 IIANM.

Moki says: The Flor Fina 858 Rosado cigars are a one time release to the dealers that were a Fuente 2002 contest winner. 29 dealers nationwide received 3 boxes each. There are only 87 boxes in the world that were released.

I only have 3 left, and they are excellent cigars.
