New Fuente Rosado's Coming Soon
 

Just got off the phone with my Fuente rep minutes ago. Fuente is going to release 3 new sizes with Rosado wrapper in the next few weeks. Retail $6.75-$7.75. 52, 54, 56 rings. Varying lengths between 5 and 6.5 inches. For all of you 858 Rosado lovers, it looks like your time has come.

Re: New Fuente Rosado's Coming Soon
 

Any more info? Like how they will be distributed and will they be limited releases (if so, how limited), seasonal releases or standard production?

By your comments, I take it that this is the same wrapper as the old 858 Rosados?

Re: New Fuente Rosado's Coming Soon
 

Sorry, but I don't have any additional info. My rep said they have not even seen the sales sheet. All he was told was the sizes and the wrapper. They will be shipped in Dec and then be available again as regular production cigars after the 1st of the year is what I was told.

Re: New Fuente Rosado's Coming Soon
 

Thanks.

I'd be interested in hearing more info as it becomes available.

Re: New Fuente Rosado's Coming Soon
 

Thanks for the heads up.

Re: New Fuente Rosado's Coming Soon
 

Are these suppose to be the Angelitos?

Re: New Fuente Rosado's Coming Soon
 

I don't know what Angelitos are. There will also be a VERY small allocation of 858 Rosado as well. Watch for them at the longer-standing Fuente accounts in your area.

Re: New Fuente Rosado's Coming Soon
 

Is this the same wrapper Fuente lists as "Sun Grown" or is this something else?

Re: New Fuente Rosado's Coming Soon
 

Do you have a list going for the Rosados?

Ah! Thanks, Stick. :tu

Re: New Fuente Rosado's Coming Soon
 

Let's get some pics up, I know they are out and available now.

Re: New Fuente Rosado's Coming Soon
 

The 858 Rosado is not the same one as listed on here... it is an 858 Sungrown Rosado wrapper... so it has a green band and the red ribbon with the cedar. Saw them at my B&M... picked one up to show a pic... will post it later tonight when I get home. :tu

Re: New Fuente Rosado's Coming Soon
 

Thanks Zach, I've seen those before but I was referring to the new ones. Oh well... I'm sure I'll see it soon. Thanks again bud!

Okay here are the pics of the new 858 SG and the AF Rosado

I'm lovin' the cool bands on the Rosados.

Re: New Fuente Rosado's Coming Soon
 

Thanks for the heads up. I'll keep an eye out for these!

Re: New Fuente Rosado's Coming Soon
 

The 858's are Sun-Grown Rosado wrapped . Not to be confused with the original 858 SG's with the black satin band on the foot of the cedar sleeve . :2

Re: New Fuente Rosado's Coming Soon
 

:tpd:

They look great, will keep an eye out for them!

Re: New Fuente Rosado's Coming Soon
 

Had one of the Rosado's last night. It was fresh from the shop. I liked it a lot, but then I love Fuente cigars, but I do think these will be a lot better after resting in a humidor for a while.

To me it was a more complex flavorful Chateau Fuente sungrown.

Re: New Fuente Rosado's Coming Soon
 

I got home today and found a little bomb from a friend on another board:

858 Rosado (new release)
Fuente Rosado 52
Fuente Rosado 54
Fuente Rosado 56

All drop shipped from Mike at Leaf & Ale and all received in perfect condition, well packed, shipped USPS priority so they didn't dry out, and even a water pillow to ensure that they arrived in smokable condition.

Thanks for the great service Mike.

Re: New Fuente Rosado's Coming Soon
 

The older 8-5-8 Sungrowns were fantastic. Can't track down the Rosados locally so I can give them a try although I thought I came close to scoring some when I called Tampa Sweethearts today and they said they have them in stock but they were only to be sold to locals.:( I would love to hear what people who have smoked the older black band ones and the Rosado wrapper and see how they compare.

Re: New Fuente Rosado's Coming Soon
 

I was never fortunate enough to score one of the old black bands.

It's part of a sampler, but if it helps any, Mike still has the new ones:
