kiwicrusaders Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Struggling to choose between these two, can you help me decide?
warren516 Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Order 2-3 singles and try them and see which you like best. That's the way to go I think.
daboose Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Assuming you've never smoked them before ... do copious amounts of singles of everything before investing in a box! Let your palette be the guide. imho
Kangaroo495 Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Bloody hell! Immensely tough decision. I reckon VR, because they probably need to be aged less. Regios seem to be too harsh when young. Although, if you're into aging, then I'd probably go Regios, as I'm a big fan of SLR. They reach really spectacular heights when cared for properly.
PigFish Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Buy three types of Petit Coronas for the same coin. Get more smoking time and more robust cigars! ... I am never much help! -Piggy
ksblazer Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 I'm like them both, but if I had to pick one? I'd go with the Regios. The recent ones I've tried have been smoking very well.

ajgagnon Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 The Famosos I've had were amazingly chocolatey in character... something new to me. I think they're fantastic. I'm not as familiar with the Regios, but I would suspect they're more middle of the road in comparison.
bassman Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Very different flavor profiles. I can't tell what YOU would like. Go with previous advice & buy a couple singles of each. Then you can decide instead of going by someone else's likes.
ryans Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 I agree with the guys above; try a few singles of both before blindly buying a whole box. When it comes to a cigar I've never tried before I usually try 3-5 singles over one to two months to really see if I like it enough to commit to purchasing a box.
CohibaBehike Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 VR, the ones I've had have been great.
Ellery Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 Good luck with this one, big fan of both. If buying both boxes isn't an option, I say buy 10 of each.
kiwicrusaders Posted February 14, 2011 Author Posted February 14, 2011 In case you are interested, I took the plunge and bought a box of 25 ......... Saint Luis Rey Regios. It was a good price and I ahve had the SLR and Vegas before, thoroughly enjoyed both and was struggling to choose betweent he 2 ... in the end it came down to price.
warren516 Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 Sounds good. This is what I did.....Hopefully I won't like them all, otherwise, I'll be going broke fast. 2 RASS 2 SLR Regios 2 PLPC 2 Patagas shorts 2 PSP2 2 Connie #1 2 Sir Winston
Habanakane21 Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 I've only had the VR and it was pretty good. I've been wanting to try a Regio for years but haven't got around to ordering a box. Soon....soon

The SLR regios are on of the best values cigars out there IMO. I think you'll like your purchase. As I mentioned earlier the recent (08-10) regios have been very tasty.
cubanmule7 Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 I know it's too late but the VR Famosas are my current favorite followed by RASS.
