Saint Luis Rey Natural

Saint Luis Rey is a cigar that just about everyone is familiar with in some way. Originally produced in Cuba and later introduced to the American market as a Honduran premium cigar, Saint Luis Rey has hung around for ages, surviving the cigar boom era and continuing to prove as a mainstay even in today's ever-expanding market. A versatile cigar indeed, Saint Luis Rey is a bold, classic blend of Nicaraguan, Honduran, and Peruvian fillers inside a Nicaraguan binder and a Nicaraguan Habano wrapper leaf. This old school mixture brings about one heck of a smoking experience, alluding to the days of old when cigars were just a simple, enjoyable luxury.

Medium-full-bodied, Saint Luis Rey starts out with earthy flavors that really bring an appreciation for the high-quality Nicaraguan tobacco used in the blend. That earthiness is then complemented by an array of coffee and cedar notes with a hint of spice on the finish, rounding out the old-fashioned Cuban flavor profile Saint Luis Rey is so well known for. Although on the heavy end of medium-full-bodied, Saint Luis Rey is an enjoyable, simple cigar that just about anyone can enjoy. At a wonderful price point, it's accessible and sensible as an everyday cigar. Best enjoyed in obligatory cigar boom fashion, Saint Luis Rey pairs nicely with a choice bourbon or scotch whiskey. Comparable brands include throwback companions Punch and Hoyo de Monterrey, close Honduran cousins of Saint Luis Rey that also can be deemed cigar boom survivors. For a taste of yesteryear, Saint Luis Rey is an easy choice for any price savvy cigar fanatic.
