The Fuente Chateau Fuente is a great SG. (I know a few mentioned it already).

The only drawbacks of the Chateau SG is that they are very spicy when young. I think they are just as spicy as an Opus when young (not near as strong nic wise though).

I agree Sauer but no one has mentioned the Mack Daddy of all sungrowns in my opinion. The elusive 858 sungrown. I have some with some age on them that are ridiculous!

VSG and Rocky Sun Grown for sure. Don Thomas isn't my favorite but definitely a great sun grown.

I have always loved the 858 sg when available. Just better than the regulars in my opinion.

King B's, Diamond Crown Maximus in any size, 858 SG (I still have some from the original '98 offering), and Taboo are my favs.


I find RP sungowns to be sketchy...a good box out of 3 maybe. Last box I had were so terribly constructed I stopped buying them altogether. I have a few singles from previous boxes that are great.



Someone mentioned Oliva Serie V.....that's an unusual wrapper they created for that cigar, but it's one-of-a-kind good. Until you said something, I almost forgot that was a SG.

I have been enjoying the RP-X-outs Sungrown. Construction and smoking on these are not an issue IMO.
