In my experience with "Sun-Grown"-identified wrappers, I have found them to uniformly suggest a subtlety-levelling dominance of the flavors in the cigars they adorn. I have smoked blends that show great complexity with other wrappers and found none of it in the "Sun-Grown" variations. This despite my general preference for larger RG- the stuff I've smoked should, in theory, display the least wrapper-flavor impact. To date, I have yet to encounter a "Sun-Grown"-wrapped stick that I would describe as complex of flavor. This is not necessarily a problem, mind you... but it does leave me very curious. Do they exist? Can they exist? Can anyone point me to any?
