Anybody try these yet. Haven't seen a fiver yet, only boxes. They sound delicious.

My local has three sizes in now. I tried a robusto size yesterday and thought it was very good.

Started off rough/harsh but settled down quickly with some nice, rich flavor and that slight touch of sweetness that some sun growns have. Not any 858SG but may be the best sun grown available right now.

I smoked one of these on the Indian Tabac trip to Honduras.

Even with my taste buds fried, I really enjoyed this cigar.

I bought some at the RP tasting in St. Paul, MN last week. Have yet to smoke one.

Cuesta Rey Centro Fino Sungrown is a really nice cigar IMHO. If you haven't tried it yet I think you should. Also many people like Montesino SG, not my favorite but decent.

Sorry did not mean to thread jack, but you could also get Feunte Double Chateau SG for about 94.00.

The Patel Sun Grown is fantastic. You won't be dissappointed.

I test drove one tonight, a toro I think. Recommended.

i bought a couple last week and have not had time to try one yet. can't wait, maybe next week

from another site:

"You could say the Sun Grown is another version of the Vintage. The wrapper is a fifth [high] priming Ecuadorian Sumatra with essentially the same Nicaraguan Dominican filler blend. It's a little more spicy and full-bodied and has a sweet finish to it." - Rocky Patel

I've only had a few. At the show, they weren't the greatest, so Indian Tabac reworked the blend a bit. Later, on a trip to Honduras (with Lowman) I had the opportunity to smoke one a few hours after it was rolled. Tons of depth, ample strength, and great consistency. Since then I've had one, and I find it to be a heck of a cigar. Many may not agree, but I think it's a bit stronger and more flavorful than the Edge. Spicy, strong, and solid construction. I’m interested to see what some humi-time will do to a box of these.

this is one I've been wanting to try. Still keeping my eyes open.

I had one today. It was a great cigar. I wish i had bought a few more.
