Default Best Sun Grown?

For those of you who might reply, "Isn't all tobacco grown in the ?", yes, I know all cigar leaves are grown on the sun.

My most recent experience is showing that I am really liking sun grown cigars.

What are some of your favorites, or what do you think is the best sun grown out there?

One of my favorites, in one of my favorite sizes is by far the RP sungrown petite corona, which is also available for half the price as the factory selects. They draw and taste the same as the boxed variety.

I enjoy a SG once in a while, RP's are good. AF's with a little age are also pretty good.

Where can you find a lighter powerful enough to light a cigar that has tobacco grown on the sun?

Just messing around.

My favorite sun grown is the Ashton VSG as well. Any size, I love them all.

Surprised no one chimed in with this one yet but for the money and taste I would have to say one of my favorites would be the Fuente Sungrown with the Cuban Beli being my favorite vitola. Don't get me wrong I love VSGs but when I can get a Cuban Beli between $5-6, there is no comparison.

I'll have to agree with the Ashton VSG. Me being somewhat of a Fuente Whore, I'll also say the Cuban Belicoso, King B, and Château Fuente and Double Château in that order.


Edit...... So? You like some Sun Growns, do ya?
Muwahahahahaha

Hard to beat the Rocky Patel SG's
The Cuesta Rey is a good one too.
I need to try the AF again, the ones I tried were underwhelming..Slapshot..

I like the Arganese Nicaraguan Sun Grown Robusto best. Then the Gran Habanos 3 Siglos. The Rocky Patel Sun Grown Petite Perfecto is a good third.

can't argue with any of 'em so far....RP's been mentioned, but the one that rocked me was a Factory Select Sungrown Petite Corona.

I think that I am the only person left on Earth who hasn't tried a RP Sungrown!!

I really like the Fuente ones particularly the Chateau Fuente and the King B. I also love the V Lanceros.

VSGs kick my butt too much everytime I smoke one!!
