Best Sun Grown?

[TripleF]

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?

:ss

[duckmanco]

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.

[Yazzie]

Ashton VSG is very tasty :ss

[bobarian]

I enjoy a SG once in a while, RP's are good. AF's with a little age are also pretty good. :2

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

Just messing around.

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

[taltos]

I would probably go with an Oliva Serie V.:ss

[barbourjay]

vsg, esg (not the churchills), centro fino cortez just to name a few. i still keep going back to the vsg line though.

[Hardcz]

don thomas and rp are mine.

[neoflex]

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.:2

[rizzle]

I enjoy a Cuesta Rey Centrofino on occasion.

[St. Lou Stu]

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:bx

[ucla695]

Another fan of AF SGs checking in.

[Skywalker]

:tpd: I agree! The AF is really nice!!!

[JaKaacH]

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..:ihSlapshot..

[MithShrike]

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.

[tobii3]

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. :dr

[Slow Triathlete]

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!!

[spincycle]

Ashton VSG. Just a little too much nic kick for me.
Taboo HSG are rather yummy too!

[Starscream]

Perdomo Reserve Sun-Grown

[Sauer Grapes]

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).

[csbrewfisher]

I just loves me some Taboo HSG lanceros. Wish I had some. :bh

[awsmith4]

I love almost all of the a fore mentioned sticks especially the RPs and the AFs. Two more of my favorites are the Cabaguian Guapo and the Oliva S

:tpd:

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!

[sofaman]

For me its VSG and Fuente Sun Growns :ss

[SonsofClubDeck]

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

[duckmanco]

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.

and just to be that guy, the 3 siglos wrapper is actually shade grown, delicious smoke nonetheless though. Also a smoke I like a lot is the Habanos Puros Fuerte #4 Petite Corona. Quite tasty and powerful.

[warpedcigars]

Ashton VSG. Had my first about 2 weeks ago, bought a box. Loved them to death.

[BORIStheBLADE]

You can add me to AF sungrown and Ashton VSG. Mighty tasty :ss

[Jdbwolverines]

VSG's if I have the $, RP's if I don't

[Benzopyrene]

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

[TripleF]

Hmmmmmmmmm......sunds tasty. Didn't even know they existed. I do like the AF SunGrowns for sure. Just had a couple this past week and they made me become aware that I like sn growns.

[Budprince]

RP, VSG, Don Thomas, as many have mentioned these. . . I too like these - can't go wrong with en as far as I'm concerned. :ss

[Silound]

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.

[CBI_2]

RP sun grown and the one VSG I had was awesome.

FYI to all here. Scott has become a sun grown ho. :r

[jledou]

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

[barbourjay]

i blame it on myself.

scott i still owe you a few new sungrowns. watch your back.

Huh, I thought you were my friend......just calm down Jeremy.....go easy now.


Ok, great replies, anything else besides?:
Rocky Patel
Arturo Fuente
Don Tomas
Ashton

[longknocker]

Ashton VSG is very tasty :ss

Another Vote For Ashton VSG!:)

[Cigarcop]

I like the Taboo HSG and the Olivia V's

[TripleF]

I like the Taboo HSG and the Olivia V's


Oliva V is a sun grwon? No wonder I like it so much!! :ss

[SmokinAFuente]

The Double Château Fuente has been my go to stick for a long time.

[Cigarcop]

Oliva V is a sun grwon? No wonder I like it so much!! :ss


Yepper, their quite tasty indeed:ss

[68TriShield]

Perdomo's Cuban Cafe is a excellent SG imo.

[BigFrank]

Agreed, great smoke!

[Mr. Ed]

+1 on the Cabaiguan Guapo. The AF and RP are great was well :tu

[dcamacho]

VSG's & Rocky Patel ... hands down.

[REALMCCOY]

Oliva V is a sun grwon? No wonder I like it so much!! :ss

Oliva O is also a sun grown. Probably one of favorites to keep around. Very reasonably priced IMO.

[bresdogsr]

Like the AF SG Chateau and RP SG

[dannysguitar]

Without question it's the VSG

[Doogie]

RP's OSG. don't like the new blend as much

[cort]

1. Ashton ESG
2. Ashton VSG
3. Taboo HSG
3. Oliva V
3. RP
3. A bunch more

:cb:cb

[nozero]

Another here for the Taboo HSG, it's still one of my most favorite cigars!

[Nimbus]

Arturo Fuente 858 SG comes to mind whenever I hear the words Sun Grown. :dr

[jbonnefsc]

Taboo HSG are rather yummy too!



:tpd:

[BC-Axeman]

I have liked every Ashton I have smoked. Their VSG goes right up there to the top. I didn't know the Oliva S-V was a sungrown. That one goes to the top too. The RPs are real good. I have been unimpressed by the AF sungrowns. The Taboo HSG seemed too weak for my taste. There are probably a lot more that could be called "sungrown" that I like. I fell like digging through my stash and picking one out now. :D

I like the AF Chateu SG line . The Rp's are pretty good also . VSG and the ESG are really good for me as well . As for my 858's - simply my favorite SG but just to darned hard to stumble upon .

[emelbee]

VSG Corona Gorda. Had one last night and smoking one right now. It must be my currently daily smoke.

[Cigary]

I went down the slope with my first SG Fuente and from there skidded on over to Ashton and then to Rocky Patel,,,all good!

[alfbacca]

I love the Cabaiguan Guapos, but after hearing all the raving over the VSG, I'm going to have to find me some.

[ScottishSmoker]

As far as straight out full body strength...I would absolutely go to the Cabiguan Guapos....but, if I want an amazing flavor profile from the sun grown wrapper leafs...and one that has yet to be mentioned...its all about the Davidoff Millenium Blends...ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM!
