I love rosado wrappers and I was thrilled when the Arturo Fuente Sun Grown Rosado line came to The Netherlands a few months ago. I reviewed the Magnum R58 (http://www.sigarenliefhebber.nl/donblog.php?misc=search&subaction=showfull&id=1293733440&archive=&cnshow=news&ucat=1&start_from=&), the Magnum R54 (http://www.sigarenliefhebber.nl/donblog.php?misc=search&subaction=showfull&id=1291316520&archive=&cnshow=news&ucat=1&start_from=&) and the Magnum R52 (http://www.sigarenliefhebber.nl/donblog.php?misc=search&subaction=showfull&id=1278433257&archive=&cnshow=news&ucat=1&start_from=&), but I noticed that I hadn't reviewed the Magnum R56 yet, so I went out and bought one. This 5⅝x56 cigar has a 9 euro price tag.

The wrapper has a reddish glow, like all the other rosado cigars I've smoked before. It is also oily, shiny and has a few long but thin veins. The construction feels good and the cigar has a mild barnyard smell. The predraw is fine and I taste spicy raisin with a peppery aftertaste.

I taste a sweet but yet burned coffee flavor with some earth. After half an inch I taste dry wood, mild sweet and some spices in the aftertaste. After two inch the flavors are sweet yet spicy, I taste wood with a mild acidic flavor and a little bit of milk chocolate in the aftertaste

Halfway I taste some wood with a mild acidic aftertaste. The sweetness and the milk chocolate are gone. After two thirds the cigar gets more spicy, I also taste herbs and some pepper.

This cigar has a smoke time of an hour and forty minutes. I got enough smoke, but the smoke was a bit thin. The draw is great, but I had to correct the burn a few times. The light colored ash is firm. This cigar is medium flavored and medium bodied.

Would I buy this cigar again? I'll stick to the R52
