OK, I know most of the experienced smokers here have tried this cigar since it is cheap, readily available, and quite a nice cigar. But, with all the newbies asking advice on what to buy, what to try, etc, I figured a quick little review of this cigar may help some guys out.

So anyway....last night I smoked the Fuente Chateau Fuente Sun Grown. It was given to me by Eshaw99 in a blind trade. I have had these before, but this one was especially flavorful, so it may have had some age to it (can you help here Eric?).

As is usual, this cigar was beautifully constructed; the wrapper was smooth and oily, the ash was perfectly white, the burn was even throughout.

The flavor was a bit harsh at the outset but quickly turned. I got a sweet taste towards the front end which turned a bit more earthy after the mid-way point (sorry I can't put more precise words to the flavors..). This medium to full-bodied cigar lasted about 45 min and was smooth and cool right until the end.

Perhaps the most appealing aspect of this cigar outside of it's flavor is it's price; I believe MSRP is about $3.50.

OK, that is my $0.02.

One of my favorite cheap cigars for sure. Boxes can be had for $70.
 
Nice review Patrick - these are indeed great, inexpensive cigars. Can't remember if you ever tried the 8-5-8 Sungrown but that one is even better. Unfortunately, next to impossible to find - I only have one left (after smoking one) and am saving it for a special occasion. I'd buy a box of these in a heartbeat. :thumbs:

I picked up a box of these and have been enjoying them tremendously. I did notice the sweet taste in the beginning as well but have noticed that the sweetness seems to be extending further into the smoke as these are aging.

:cool:
 
Awesome little cigar...my only complaint about them is that i feel the draw is a little to easy...but the taste more than makes up for it!
 
Love these...always a great go-to cigar. :thumbs:

...I know where another one is, but you can't have it back.... :p Smoked one of the two 8-5-8's I have last night. The Fuente Sungrown's are wonderful cigars; I like 'em a lot.

Bang for the buck the Fuente Sungrowns are tough to beat. They are always consistent flavor wise and even more consistent construction wise.
