What to know

Critics consensus

Sungrown-wrapped figurado character reads as toasted oak, baking spice, and nutty sweetness with a gingery lift toward the finish. The draw and burn stay even. — Cigar Aficionado (Jan 2026).

    Toasty oak core with a sweet layer like cinnamon raisin toast, plus baking spices, nuttiness, and gingerbread complexity on a tall figurado.

    Predominantly woody with black pepper, coffee bean, and peanut, slight mustiness detected before an oaky finish on a long torpedo.

    Powerful opening settles into dusty cocoa, sweet-spicy tamarind, and coffee bean hints on a pyramid format.

    The Cuesta-Rey Centro Fino Sungrown Pyramid No. 9 lived up to the magazine scores for me: balanced through the middle, picked up a little sweetness in the last third.

    Herf night pick: Cuesta-Rey Centro Fino Sungrown Pyramid No. 9. Pepper up front, then cocoa and cedar. I'd grab another.

    Spent an evening with the Cuesta-Rey Centro Fino Sungrown Pyramid No. 9. Draw and burn were both clean; flavor was in the ballpark of what the critic write-ups promised.
