Indulge in one of the rarest, most deeply rich maduro experiences on the planet with the Arturo Fuente Añejo Reserva No. 888 Xtra Viejo. Released by Tabacalera A. Fuente y Cia. in highly limited allocations only once or twice a year, the iconic Añejo line is a treasured masterpiece crafted for serious aficionados who demand maximum wrapper sweetness and absolute flavor complexity.
The No. 888 is an elegant, long-format 6 5/8" x 44 Lonsdale vitola. This slender shape beautifully concentrates essential tobacco oils directly onto the palate. Utilizing the same legendary, estate-grown Dominican binder and filler tobaccos as the core OpusX line, the Añejo blend is uniquely wrapped in a dark, oily Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro leaf aged for years in rich cognac barrels, giving it a magnificent, unmatched profile.
Flavor Profile & Smoking Experience
The Añejo No. 888 opens with a decadent, full-bodied wave of sweet molasses, dark cocoa, and fresh espresso. As the slender vitola burns, the cognac barrel aging imparts magnificent layers of boozy oak, baking spices, rich leather, and a sophisticated creaminess. The finish is remarkably long, velvety, and sweet.
