"What can i say...BUT.."
well... what can i say?... it's a rocky. Perhaps i've grown acustomed to getting a premium smoke from RP. Perhaps quality is important at RP...i've yet to discover anything from RP to suggest otherwise. When it comes to Rocky Patel cigars you will rarely be dissapointed. You may not like the strength, or flavour of a RP stick.. but you can never discount the quality. The RP "sun grown" robusto is one such stick for me. It's a great stick that has a great appearance, quality constructed, flavourful stick. The sun grown is less smooth than other RP brands, perhaps it is the intent of RP to have created a stick for people who like a bite to their cigars. The burn was even to the end. The ash was a very light grey, not very firm though(dropped around 3/4- 1 in.) surprisingly, the sitck didn't get hot until the last inch of smoking.
Like i have said this is another quality stick from those fine folks at RP.. it's just not my cup of tea. I doubt i'll be restocking these.. will smoke them if recieve in a sampler or special offer. They really are a good smoke, i just don't like the flavor, and bite i get from these.. try a five pack, you might love these!!

"FOREVER SILKY"
UPON OPENING FELT SMOOTH AS A BABIES BUTT. LIT IT AND WAS HIT WITH A SMOOTH RICH AND SILKY TASTE. GREAT DRAW AND CREAMY FLAVOR. WAS ONE OF THE BEST BURNS OF ANY CIGAR EVER. WAS STRAIGHT AND TRUE HALFWAY DOWN THE PIKE. HAD TO FORCE IT OFF THE STICK. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

"Smooth medium body smoke"
RP Sun Grown is a great med body smoke. Not as strong as The Edge but quite tasty. The soft red wrapper is outstanding

"Wonderful Smoke"
I tried this cigar on a whim and believe it is one of the finest cigars I've ever had. Each cigar is very consistent with a wonderful aroma and smooth tast all the way to the end.

"Damn fine cigar"
I got this cigar in a sampler pack and what a surprise - this was a damn good cigar! The burn was perfect. It starts out peppery and then mellows out towards the end. Very earthy finish. I smoked it down to the nub with no problems at all. Imight try a five pack.
