“QUICK PUFF” – San Luis Rey Regios
Mar 1, 2010 Cigar, Quick Puff
Tonight’s review is a “Quick Puff” review of the San Luis Rey Regio.
The San Luis Rey is a Cuban brand that flies somewhat under the radar among most smokers. The “Rey” is medium bodied and relatively reasonably priced cuban.
The Regio is a Robusto sized stick that has a slightly dry appearance. It is chocolate brown in color and has a strong barnyard aroma with some coffee at the foot.
The Rey had a slightly tight draw at first. After lighting and taking 6 or 7 puffs, it loosened a bit, but it was still a little too firm for my liking.
The stick had a lot of nice coffee, earth and cocoa flavors. There was also a tinge of saltiness at points.
Overall this was a good smoke minus the difficult draw. The draw was actually a problem on 2 of the 3 sticks I tried over a 2 week period, so it could be indicative of a bigger issue. Other than the draw problems, this was a nice stick at a reasonable price from my cuban source. I’d recommend it for those of you who like Padron cigars, as I get a similar flavor profile of coffee, chocolate and some earth.
