Now I've never been a fan of Don Tomas but was almost forced to try one at my B&M. He said if I didn't like it it was on the house. So I lit it up and was pleasantly surprised. This was a very enjoyable smoke. I would say it was medium bodied with almost no spice or pepper, just good tobacco taste. So if you see one, pick it up and try it.

I've been enjoying Sun Growns lately. It first started with Rocky Patel's Sun Grown, then Fuente's King B, then Ashton's VSG line, Rocky's OSG, Cuesta Rey's Sun Grown. So far, in that very short list, I haven't found one I haven't enjoyed. It sounds like this one's a winner, too. Thanks for turning me on to this!
It won't be as "strong" as the one's you've listed but is still a very good cigar, ecspecially for the price.Quote:

Gonna have to try these, thanks for the info!
Echoing chefchris on the taste of good tobacco. I had one of my DTSG Rothchilds tonight and it was a smooth smoke with a natural sweet taste in my mind.
I don't know what it is about Sun Grown, and I know that many, many people love the hell out of them, but I have a strong aversion to them. I recently tried several Rocky Patels and an Ashton VSG, and hated them all.
Now I'm going to fire up a 5 Vegas Archetype, another cigar that doesn't do it for me, but I'm going to try again from a recently ordered 5-Pack. These get very positive reviews as well.
Just finishing up my first one.........I agree with chefchris' medium body assertion, and Enhaf's comment on the hint of sweetness. I pick up on just a little spice, too, but I am sensitive to that. It did start out a bit harsh, but calmed down and smoothed out about 1/2" in. Flawless construction. Lots of creamy, white smoke. Whitish-gray ash. Definitely worth the money. I think I picked this up for about $3. I will definitely smoke this cigar again.
Thanks for the tip!
Just had one yesterday for the first time. Impressive....especially for the price. Gonna have to pick up some more of these.
