Sun Grown

Ogre · 02-06-2014, 08:07 PM

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???

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

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

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.

Just read a couple of reviews on these. I think I just found my next purchase.

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

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.

El Centurion...Wrapper: Nicaraguan Sun Grown Criollo ’98

Correct again Tyler.

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

Remo · 02-06-2014, 09:34 PM

Centurion are great Larry

RWhisenand · 02-06-2014, 09:52 PM

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.

G G · 02-06-2014, 10:41 PM

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.

Dude Here · 02-06-2014, 11:55 PM

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.
