First A Fuente Sungrown

I am usually a biased shopper from personal experience as I tend to favor Nicaraguan tobacco. Just recently I have tried to give Dominicans another shot at my regular rotation. I have limited experiences to judge all tobaccos of that region, but the brands' offerings that I have tried seem to all be mild to medium bodied by my tastes, with the exception of La Flor Dominican. The other Fuente varieties that I have tried were quite good and definitely have consistent quality and construction, but lack the flavor that I crave from Nicaraguans. I had a pleasant surprise from the Chateau Sungrown that I enjoyed this evening. Typical flawless construction, perfect draw and even burn that I would expect, but the wrapper flavor was fantastic. I look forward to trying other vitolas in this wrapper. Any suggestions from the more experienced members on Dominicans with a similar profile? Any help is greatly appreciated.
