It's pleasant and definitely not too sweet, plus, it's different and not a "me too" cigar. Yes, it tends to be on the mild side, yet with real character which defines it and it burns absoutely straight and does so for almost an hour and a half. All in all, it is good and it is unique. It will not be for everyone as it departs from the earthy and gets more int the territory that polarizes folks. If you like it, as I do, you will want to keep some in your rotation, perhaps not even a weekly selection, but one that you will go to when you crave something a bit different: something desert like.

They aren't suffering for a year's age, but I'm not sure they're getting any better either. I can't comment on the negative reviews. What I can say is that I've smoked hundreds of these and have had one I didn't like, one that did not draw well. Fuente is right up there in terms of quality control. Clint,

Great poem bud. I just ordered some of these as well as some of the smaller ones. It's funny how as a relatively new smoker I don't hear much about some of these great smokes that have been around for a while. It's like you said, we are being almost overwhelmed by all of the hype of new releases (some of it warranted), to the point where great mainstays like these get lost in the shuffle. I probably never would have tried a Fuente Sungrown if JB hadn't sent me one for Christmas. I can't wait til my order gets here. Even though I have read some negative reviews on these during my research of them, the one I had ranked right up there with some of the best cigars I have smoked. Is it your experience that these perform better with some age on them? That is the impression I am getting from what I am reading. Hey Ace how about that, I actually agree with you on this one.
