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

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.

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

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.

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

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!
