As part of their centennial celebration, Arturo Fuente has added yet another cigar to its growing list of 2012 releases, King T Rosado Sun Grown. King T, a classic 7 x 49 Churchill sold in tubos, has previously only been sold with an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, but will now also be offered in a Rosado Sun Grown wrapper similar to the Magnum R line.

As of now, the cigar is available in limited quantity, but like its Connecticut counterpart, King T Sun Grown will be a regular production with IPCPR 2012 being looked at as the date for full production and availability.

Like the original version, there are production delays with the tubes, so the initial versions are being packaged in the black and white tubos the Connecticut is synonymous with. However, Fuente will use a red tubo for the Sun Grown in order to better delineate the two.

Pricing is the same as the Connecticut version meaning around $10.00 per cigar depending on local taxes.
