The King Street Emporium

Cuesta Rey sungrown

By J.C. Newman

The Sun Grown shares the same aged Dominican long filler and binder foundation as the Natural, five years in the cedar holding room before rolling, but trades the Connecticut Shade wrapper for a dark Connecticut Broadleaf leaf grown in full sun rather than under shade cloth. The result carries more weight and depth than the Natural while staying within the same mellow to medium range that defines the Centenario collection. The wrapper is Connecticut Broadleaf Sun Grown over a Dominican binder, with five year aged Dominican long filler. Mellow to medium in body. Made at Tabacalera A. Fuente in the Dominican Republic.
