Review Notes: What a fantastic smoke! A beautiful cigar in every way. Flavors totaly coat the palate with a buttery smoothness that was almost caramelish. A medium to full-bodied gem of a smoke. I smoked it down to about .375 of an inch it was so good while watching a Lake Erie sunset. It took 2.5 hours and was totally relaxing. I needed a roach clip it was so good. Even at the end it never got too hot or at all bitter. This cigar took no maintenance and never needed any attention to burn perfectly. Total bliss and relaxation with a smooth, rich taste that cannot be beat. I will be ordering more Rocky's and hoping this quality carries throughout the line. If it does I have a new favorite on my list.

Review Notes: The pack I'm smoking now have been resting for about 5 months and I finally broke down and lit them up. Great looking cigar, smooth veinless wrapper, lit easily and the draw is perfect putting out a heavy volume of smoke! Unfortunately, they all seem to have burn issues for the first half, requiring numerous touch-ups. The aroma was pleasant (my kids even commented that it smelled good.) When I *could* relax with it, the flavors were great: earthy, dry leaves (think autumn,) some creamy chocolate midstick, and a blast of pepper starting at the band. Medium/full bodied and smooth, with a dry woody finish, medium strength. I prefer the Vintage line over these, especially at the price point, but I may keep a 5er around.

Review Notes: I've smoked lots of RP's before, from the Vintage lines to the Olde World Reserves and a few Indian Tabac's but the Sun Grown series has to be my favorite. The toro is an impressive looking smoke with a beautiful silky wrapper that was virtually vein free. The cap on this one in particular was a little rough looking but I think it was just an odd ball. Flavors are terrific. Thick, rich smoke with a taste of burnt caramel on the finish. The second half brings in some spiciness along with notes of wood. Medium-Full bodied. Draw was perfect and the ash held like it was super glued to the stick. Burn was perfect for the first half then began to get a little off on the second. Some tunneling here and there but I think that was partly my fault. As another reviewer said this is a long smoke. Took me a little over an hour and a half. Overall, this is a great cigar. I don't think the prices are outrageous but if you're that concerned you can get these rather cheap on auction. Definitely recommended.

Review Notes: A lot of past reviews stated this cigar but them on their butt. It is a great med/full bodied cigar, but I don't think it is a cigar that will pit those you like stronger cigars on their butt. I, for one, favor stronger cigars. This is my 2nd cigar of this line, as I have also smoked the "sixty". This cigar had great construction and the burn and draw were simply perfect. Produced a nice 2+ inch ash for me. This is a long smoke... well over an hour of pure bliss. flavors of eartth, wood and cream. Also some spicy undertones. A great cigar, but not a butt kicker in my book.

Review Notes: I had the chance to meet Mr. Rocky Patel himself when he visited one of the local smoke shops. He was handing out free Sun Growns for all customers. He was heavily promoting this line in particular, and I can see why. Of all the blends he carries, in my opinion, this is the smoothest one. It is medium-full but easy to smoke even for beginners. I am even able to inhale the smoke thru my nose, and not break out into tears. The aroma is very pleasent, even my non smoking friends are pleased. The price is the killer though, 6.95 a stick, and online retailers are not offering much discount. In the past two years, I've smoked 15-20 of these, and all have had perfect draw. One or two had the wrappers tear, but it's probably because I'm careless when transporting cigars. I would love to smoke these more often, but not at that price.
