The Cigar: Arturo Fuente Rosado Sungrown Magnum R 52
The Specs:
Size: 5 x 52
Country of Origin: Dominican Republic
Wrapper: Ecuadorian Rosado Sungrown
Binder: Dominican Republic
Filler:Dominican Republic
The Hype:
The Arturo Fuente Rosado Sungrown Magnum R 52 is yet another show-stopping cigar coming from master blender Carlos Fuente Jr.
Ever since their beginning, the Fuente family has absolutely dominated the cigar industry with their exotic blends, incredible workmanship and unmatched consistency. The Rosado Sungrown is by no means any exception to this standard of quality that the Fuentes seem to master like nobody else. As just about all Fuente cigars, this one hails from the Dominican Republic and is lovingly rolled using the finest quality Dominican filler and binder leaves. The big story about this cigar, however, is the exotic Ecuadorian Rosado Sungrown wrapper leaf, gathered from the lower primings of the tobacco plant for a more mellow, "old-school" taste, straying from Carlos Fuente Jr's signature trend of powerful "experienced smoker only" cigars of recent years. These leaves were left over from the original Fuente Sungrown line and aged for an incredible 8-10 years before rolling. After production, the cigars age for an additional year in order for the flavors to "marry. "

Thanks again to Brad for taking this one on and providing the cigar. THANKS!! And happy smokin' :cigarman:
Would love to get in on this one.
That's a good cigar, but I'm doing one in September I think and I did one earlier this year so I'll defer to others.
I'd love to give this stick a try .....

If you can't fill it (come on it's Brad people!!) I'll be a backup.
I just did one in May but definitely more than happy to do another, especially for an AF!
I wrote one in April but enjoy doing these so I'm available if needed.
