Anyone smoked either the Sun Grown or Maduro Signature Collection cigars? If so what did you think?

If you're talking about the Carlos Torano Signature Collection Maduro Doug...I enjoy those. :-) :-)

That is certainly one of the rare NCs I really find fascinating...certainly a unique taste when it came out.
Not sure where it evolved to, but I liked it ten years ago. Must be some kind of Brazilian Mata Fina in there somewhere,
it sure tastes like it has it.

I think he means the CI cigar, 'Signature Collection'.

You are correct sir!

Sorry for not clarifying further. The Sun Grown is AJ Fernandez made and the Maduro is Plasencia made.

I like the Sungrown variety from CI and cigar.com. Scored a box of the sun-grown robustos from Cigarbid.
Made by AJ Fernandez. The robusto is comparable to a Diesel Unltd. d.5. A little less spice. Good value smoke.

The maduro's are good Doug! Very rich pronounced flavors of
espresso, dark chocolate, cream, white pepper, and cedar.

Just bid on a 30 ct box of the sungrown corona version. If I pick these up, at the price I put in on my bid, they will be WELL worth it.

Perhaps we could make a trade if you win. :-)

Sounds good to me bud! :-) I will PM you if I do, and we can work something out! :-)

Good deal thanks.

Since most of us do not smoke the box, want to alert the brethren that this brand's box is the worst-made cigar box in world history. Popsicle sticks glued to thin plywood rectangles. The plywood is almost translucent.
Nabbed a box of Signature Collection sungrown robustos by AJ Fernandez on cBid. The box arrived shattered, with the cigars lurking among the wreckage. Four cigars were not smokeable -- the cBid c/s team credited my account for the damaged cigars. The c/s crew did not seem aware that the box was such a sham.
The cigars are a good value smoke, comparable to a cut-rate Diesel Unlimited.

I haven't tried the CI ones but the ones by Carlos Torano are excellent! But buy them now because they are no longer making them.
