Sun Grown
 
I am usually a Maduro smoker, but recently I have found a serious taste for sun grown. I picked up a few of Fuentes 858 sun grown and have fallen in love. Are there any other sun grown smokers out there?? And whats your favorite???

The 858 sungrowns are one of my favorites. I keep a box of those. Also, been fond of the Perdomo Champagne Sungrown. Good cigar!

Larry, I tend to stick to the darker NC's as well, but I recently had an Alec Bradley American Sun Grown and it was surprisingly good.

I tried the VSG early in my cigar history and wasn't impressed. Maybe I need to give them a second chance.

I love my maduros...and you'd think that I'd really dig the sun growns. This has not been the case at all. However, the Alec Bradley Sun Grown is one of my favs. :2

I'll definitely second the Fuente "black band" cigars. Also a huge fan of the VSG -- I definitely would recommend revisiting! :tu

When first got in the hobby a RP SunGrown was one of my fav smokes , I was just gifted one last month by a local rep for RP and its sleeping waiting for warmer weather.

AF Sun Grown are great. I like the Chateau, too. The Piņa del Rio Sun Grown was pretty good as well.

I never realized it, but it would seam that I really like sun grown cigars. VSG, and Perdomo Anniversary SG are two of my more recent favorites.

:tpd:

I recommend this to anyone that's a fan of Headley Grange as it has a very similar flavor profile.

I like maduros mostly too but have smoked 8 or 10 sungrowns over the years and like them all a lot. the only one I remember for sure was the RP Sungrown.

I'll pile on some more RP Sungrown love. Was my go to stick for several years. Also find the HU sungrowns to be quite tasty as well.

I'm really not a fan of the RP, but do enjoy the Oliva Serie V and Serie V Maduro Especial, along with the Fuente Hemingway SG

Bottom line = Thank you, John Oliva Jr.

Another vote for the centurion. I also did not find anything special about the vsg the first time around. Second and third time however were pretty good. If I recall there is a pretty significant difference between the sizes. Now if I could only remember which ones I liked...I seem to call the box pressed one being pretty good.

I'm not a maduro fan but LOVE me some sungrowns!!!

Fuente sungrowns are all over the map for me ... Cuban Beli is good, Queen B is good, Hemingway SG are either great or terrible, 858 SG are dang good!
Ashton VSG (Enchantment is my the best, IMO) is great (made by Fuente, I know)!
PDR Habano SG are off the charts good!
La Aurora 107 are great. As are Guillermo Leon Signature.
Tat Black Petit Lancero is awesome!
El Primer Mundo put out a good Sungrown when last I smoked em.
The Oliva Serie O SG is a good smoke.

I'm not a big Oliva Serie V or My Father fan.

Oliva V and El Centurion are awesome sticks!
