Saint Luis Rey

Introduced at Le Cigar Noir in California back on May 1st, 1996, this Honduran version of an old Cuban brand was an immediate hit with everyone who tried it. Full-bodied, but smooth on the draw, these smokes blend plenty of flavor with a slow-burning cadre of Honduran-grown, Cuban-seed tobaccos for a relaxing smoke. Handmade in Danli, Honduras, the line is truly one of the finer Honduran products on the market. Living up to its reputation as a rich and satisfying cigar, the Saint Luis Rey Churchill scored an excellent 91 rating from Cigar Aficionado. Our panel loved this full bodied smoke as much as CA, rating 3 of the 5 sizes at either a 90 or 91. In addition to the Churchill you’ll get a chance to try this month, Saint Luis Rey is available in a double corona, Lonsdale, toro and torpedo. It’s expertly crafted and packed with flavor. You’re gonna love it!

Note a smooth oily wrapper and an aesthetically pleasing cigar in general. We found the construction superb. Evenly packed, no soft spots, a smooth cap, easy draw and a slow burn. Look for a flavor packed smoking experience including pronounced cocoa beans and roasted hazelnuts. You’ll also get some spicy character throughout this smoke. It’s a bit earthy too. Safe to say, there’s a lot going on here. We found this medium to full bodied cigar to offer a leathery finish. We smoked it to the nub! Overall, a great cigar. Tons of full flavor and great construction. Try smoking it with a peaty single malt scotch.
