Rocky Patel Sun Grown Maduro Toro Tubo 5s

95/100
- Cigar Aficionado

Tasting Notes:

\The first Sun Grown was a dark cigar to begin with but this more modern version has surpassed the original in every respect€”it's darker it's stronger and it's more complex. The cigars are also trunk-pressed giving them an attractive appearance that hints at the bold blend of Nicaraguan tobacco under the broadleaf wrapper€”and they harmonize beautifully imparting earthy nutty notes and bittersweet chocolate with the sweeter properties of the wrapper.\but this more modern version has surpassed the original in every respect€”it's darkerit's stronger and it's more complex.
