"A great value"
Great looks and value here. Very good draw and burn requiring a couple touch ups for it's length. Flavor possessing a very enjoyable cedar flavor.

"Tight Draw."
I bought a box of these from CI 6 months ago. I smoked one shortly after receiving them and it was hard to keep lit. I figured they needed to sit for a while. They have been 6 months in my humidor now, and I tried another one. Again, a very tight draw. Maybe I got a bot batch of them. It's just too much work too keep them going. Guess I'll let them sit for another 6 months before I try another one.

"A Great Cigar with Distinctive Fuente Taste"
These Sun Growns are hard to find but worth it. The wrapper makes a big difference. For some reason, I do not like the Chateau Fuente Sun Growns but all of the others including this one are superb. Lasted almost two hours! Heavy draw, Fuente spice. smooth to the core.

"Best AF Standard Line"
This is a great smoke, but you pay premium to find then in the Sun Grown wrapper. Ecuadorians have the best wrappers (tabacco), hands down. Construction was solid, but not the best I have ever had. I would recommend if you could find them under $8. I paid $14, but I had to try it. You hard core smokers like me know what I am talking about when you need to splurge.

"Smooth and delicious"
This cigar is without a doubt one of the best stogies from the Arturo Fuente line. Very smooth and creamy, with spicy aftertones. Great to the band and beyond. The best cigar I have had in a few months. Smoke lasted about 1.5 hours, and I could have made it last longer. Finishes with excellend flavor. You have to try this one--you will not go wrong.

"quality AND value"
had my first one of these babies tonight and it goes straight to the top of my rotation. like all fuentes i've had, construction was flawless. good medium-fullish taste and a perfect burn.
absolutely the best smoke i've ever had without getting into smokes with prices in the stratosphere. highly recommended!

"A single from CBID"
Unfortunately I only had one of these, but I will be buying more. This cigar is pure AF, great construction with an excellent burn, easy draw and wonderful flavor. The spicey finish has lasted for well over two hours and is going strong. This is a highly recommended cigar.

"Excellent"
First premium cigar I ever tried several years ago. A whopping size, the flavor is sure to deliver a knock out as well. Not for the casual smoker--excellent flavor, construction and experience.

"Great"
I know now why people get excited about these. Impeccible construction, great burn, spicy complex taste from the get go ... tapers off a bit in the second half but still a great smoke.

"smooth"
This cigar was very smooth and burned perfectly. A nubber. Taste was consistent to my fingertips. I may be a hotboxer, but this cigar lasted only about an hour, and from what I understand, should have lasted at least another half hour or so.

"Huge disappointment"
Attractive appearance, but a very tight draw made it impossible to enjoy the smoke. Unremarkable, weak flavor.

"A Royal Salute!"
Impeccable appearance and construction, with slightly veigny oily wrapper. The burn is dead even and the draw just right; managed 2-inch-plus silver ash with perfect shape. The body is medium-to-full, and the flavor is a combination of (lots of) wood, "sweet earth", some cinnamon and nuts; the complexity is higher than in a Hemingway Classic, as is the overall strength. The finish is very smooth, with no harshness nor heat until the very end. This is an outstanding 90-plus minute smoke, at a very reasonable price.

"Big Daddy"
A beautiful made big size cigar with a lasting full bodied taste. Have some time available, because this will keep you interested for a while. Basically lke the Chateau Line, except bigger, much bigger...enjoy!

"An Old Regular"
This is a good golf cigar. It holds out for the front or back nine, is flavorful, quality smokage and won't break the bank. I occasionally get one that burns a little funny.
I have just gone to a 200+ humidor and have got a few ageing. see if that kicks them up a notch or two.

Good Golf CIgar and a great smoke. Best taken when all you want to do is enjoy a good stick.

"Nice!"
Give it up for AF. Do they know how to put a stick together or what? Easy light, great draw and burn, especially for a double corona. Bready and spicy with some wood notes. Got a little harsh at the end, and I mean THE END.

"A Good, Honest Cigar"
Smooth, cedary, with just the right amount of pepper. This is a big cigar and can be used as a "blunt object" as well as be smoked!! All kidding aside; I cut my teeth on this cigar, and periodically when I'm feeeling silly and sentimental, I by one and spend an hour with this honest, enjoyable cigar

Flawlessly constructed and
beautiful in appearance, this big beauty has a cocoa brown,
oily wrapper with almost non-
existent veins. Taste was spicy
and complex. Loved it!
