The sun-grown version sits in the middle of the three: warm spice and golden sweetness, lifted by the bourbon character in the leaf. Five sizes, robusto through gordo.
Wrapper: Nicaraguan Sun Grown
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Nicaraguan long-filler, bourbon-barrel aged
Strength: Medium
Sizes: Robusto (5.0" x 54), Epicure (6.0" x 54), Torpedo (6.5" x 54), Churchill (7.0" x 54), Gordo (6.0" x 60)
The middle of the three, and arguably the best-balanced.
