The darker follow-up to the original Sun Grown, and the one that gets most of the praise now. Rocky Patel travels more than almost anyone in the trade and still finds time to blend like this.
Deep and sweet, with cocoa, coffee and a controlled pepper. Four sizes including a 7.5-inch lancero — a shape worth seeking out, because the narrow ring puts the wrapper front and centre.
Wrapper: Maduro
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Nicaraguan and Honduran long-filler
Strength: Medium to full
Sizes: Lancero/Panatela (7.5" x 38), Robusto (5.0" x 50), Toro (6.5" x 52), Sixty (6.0" x 60)
The lancero is the connoisseur's pick and it rarely stays in stock.
