I am a slr lover. My favorite is slr dc from 01, slr Lonsdale from 98, slr churchill cabs, slr corona, slr series A and 50 cab of regios. I smoke a lot of fresh series A, but have moved to fresh regios as they are more available.

Just ordered a box of SLR regios.  Hoping for the best.

Working my way through my first box of Regios. Nice change! Well constructed, beautiful oily wrappers. Notes of leather and a hint of white pepper. A good one hour smoke. This box will be gone in a month. Great purchase!

For what it's worth, while collating data from the video reviews, I often heard Rob and Ken discuss characteristics that they look for in the various marcas.  Not what recent examples tend to show (necessarily) -- but rather what Rob and Ken have from time to time indicated they look for.   Anyway, I started taking notes, and collected them into a table:

Brand	Rob and Ken's Brand Profile Notes
Bolivar	Full bodied, leather, lightly sweet earth
Cohiba	5 classic characteristics: Honey, dried grass, dried hay, touch of citrus zest, light milk coffee in the background. - wonderful with vanilla at 5 years
Diplomatico	Toasted tobacco, cream, sweeter spice
H. Upmann	Nuts, cream, toasted tobacco, shortbread
Hoyo de Monterrey	Dry white wood, varying cream, a touch of sweetness
La Gloria Cubana
Montecristo	Coffee, cream, cocoa
Partagas	Spice of bell pepper and smoked paprika, earthiness
Por Larranaga	Caramel, fruit, cream, toasted tobacco, hay. Medium bodied.
Quai d'Orsay	Nuts and slight grassiness
Rafael Gonzalez	Toast with milk and honey
Ramon Allones	Stewed fruit, fruitcake, with toast
Romeo y Julieta	Morello cherry
Saint Luis Rey	Molasses, apricot / stonefruit
San Cristobal	Molasses, sponge cake, milk coffee
Sancho Panza	Sweetness with a touch of salt
Trinidad	Cream and coffee
Vegas Robaina	Creamy coffee. Occasionally a bit of chocolate.

Any errors are my own!

Again, nice job! I like how you sum up data so concisely.
