Sun Grown

07-08-2009, 09:58 PM

Just picked up some RP SG Torps off Cbid today. I cant wait till they get here. Has anyone given these a try and if so what did you think?

I liked the SG, but I bought a fiver of churchills and I'm learning that I rarely have time for that size. As a result, I tend to rush them, and we all know how that goes...

I've read that there was an earlier version of the SG that was even better than the current model. Maybe someone can elaborate on that.

The RP Sungrown is one of his best blends, the wrapper is exquisite and the vitolas are all great, the Petite Corona is an all time fave for a quick afordable smoke. Try the new lanceros for a great taste of the wrapper.

I enjoyed the one I smoked.

i like the RP's that i have smoked so far, i just got them for 3 bucks a stick, so i figure why not. I have some 5 Vegas Miami's coming too so im ready to do some smokin this weekend!

RP's are either love or hate for me. I had a Sun Grown Sixty the other day. LOVED IT! It's a size I would never buy but it was a gift from a friend. 3 hours of enjoyment. I enjoyed it because you could really see the development of flavors throughout the stick.

I love the RP sungrowns and usually look for them in a toro. I did buy a bunch of petite perfectos too, but can't remember where. I really liked those!

TripleF · 07-09-2009, 07:30 AM

It's my favorite stick.

duckmanco · 07-09-2009, 12:51 PM

Hands down in my top 5 best ever tasting blends. I was sad to see the FS bundles go away. I'm no RP whore, but this blend just tastes like a cigar should taste.

Starscream · 07-09-2009, 12:55 PM

I like 'em.

Mr B · 07-09-2009, 01:30 PM

I like em also

. I have tried the Torpedo and the Toro. I will probably pick up a box of the Petite Coronas soon.

07-09-2009, 03:17 PM

Wow, looks like im in for a treat! I will prolly smoke one when they get here and then let the other 4 marinate for a while in the humi! Cbid is a terrible thing!

Hey Mr B, my inlaws live in the north bay. They live around Ignacio, you close by? We come out that way a couple times a year to visit. I love that area!

Skywalker · 07-09-2009, 05:14 PM

These are my favorite RP along with the Edge Sumatra!!!

It is my regular stick of choice. Inexpensive and always good. When in doubt give me an RP sungrown.

Fumes · 07-09-2009, 05:26 PM

The PC is my goto short smoke. Great in any size though.

07-09-2009, 08:31 PM

the sun grown is my favorite Patel blend too. I plan on pulling the trigger on the petites after I run out of 5 vegas miami petites that I have now.

07-09-2009, 08:36 PM

I love these... on my Top 5 list as well...

The Torps are excellent, and I love the PC as well. Smoke them on the way to work all the time.

yourchoice · 07-09-2009, 08:42 PM

Not to be a bummer, but I'm not too fond of them. I prefer the 1992's.
