Popular Post JohnS Posted December 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 24, 2020 Saint Luis Rey Regios GOB Abr 2020 According to Cuban Cigar Website, "Saint Luis Rey is a current pre-revolution brand, established around 1940 by a British firm. It was imported exclusively into the UK market until the 1993. Production was always fairly small, and starting in the early 2000s the line has been gradually reduced to a single cigar produced for copyright reasons." That one cigar is the Hermosos No.4-sized Regios (48 ring gauge x 127 mm or 5 inches in length). I'd like to thank @Bijan for making it possible to smoke this today via a mutual trade. The last SLR Regios I've smoked was three years ago during the 2017 Australian Rugby League grand final. My impressions then and now about the Regios are funnily enough much the same despite the long interval period it's taken me to re-visit this cigar. You see, for me at least, Saint Luis Rey has always been a cigar that requires aging to get the benefits of its blend profile and my preferential bias towards the marca makes it difficult to appreciate smoking it in its youth. Whether it's the now discontinued corona gorda-sized Serie A, the similarly deleted Double Corona, Lonsdale and Churchill or the Regional releases such as the Asia-Pacifico Pacificos and Cuban Marquez, I've always smoked them with time down. Make no mistake however, the Regios does indeed carry the hallmarks of the Saint Luis Rey flavour profile. These are its cocoa, hay and stonefruit (think dried apricots) core. Today's Regios started well with these flavours but towards the back half it became more toasty and spicy. There was no honey sweetness, citrus or coffee that I've enjoyed in aged Serie As of late and for which I crave (although I'd be willing to admit that yes, there was some apple citrus tart aspect to the cigar in the first third but this dissipated later). Mind you, I'm still willing to give the Saint Luis Rey Regios a go and have it in my humidor. In fact, I recently ordered some. However, there's nothing wrong with enjoying them in the first 12 to 24 months, alas for me, I'll be smoking some Hermosos No.4-sized Romeo y Julieta Exhibicion No.4s in the meantime waiting for my Regios to develop before I smoke my next one. 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
