I'm not sure I've ever had the 858R.....may need to remedy that.

Be forewarned they are going to be tough to find, the 858 rosado has only been released twice IIRC. 2002 and 2009 if memory serves, and both times limited in numbers. There was even some debate if the 2009 release was actually rolled in 2002 and held back, and, true to form, Carlos Fuente Jr would neither confirm nor deny the speculation.

I'm not sure if the regular production rosado line uses the same wrapper leaf from a different vintage or a similar leaf - ultimately though, it doesn't have that brilliant 858 binder and filler blend.
