Excellent balanceFirm but good draw. Med-full body. Full flavor. The flavor complexity in these little devils is awesome. I've not smoked one since 1999 and they are still just as delicious. This little guy strikes a perfect balance of earthy/wood with a bit of spicy creme and a hint of floral aromatics. Really a marvelous robusto right up there with the RASS and almost as good as the D4.

No Nonsense SmokeFor the price you would be hard pressed to find a Robusto like the Saint Luis Rey. Well constructed, easy smoke with easy to recognize flavors, with creamy texture and a leathery spice. Amazing these are not more popular.

Great sweet-ish cuban at a great priceMy expectations were not extremely high for this cigar. I was appropriately impressed.
This stick was included in an All-Star Sampler and rested for ~10 months. Great construction, and no burn issues, despite some reviews to the contrary. Pre-light draw was very pleasant. Cap is beautiful with a clean guillotine cut that stay put throughout the smoke.
First third started out a bit harsh, and I was afraid I was in for a Cuban without the Cuban flavors, but the harshness quickly disappeared and the creamy Cuban smoke arrived. Quickly, the honey overtones were prominent. Second third was similar with a bit more power and some leather. Last Third was still sweet, but had some cloves and more leathery undertone. Overall, a pleasant evolution, while not extremely complex and consistently very creamy.
Ash held on well, and the burn, as mentioned earlier, was just fine. It only required one re-light, and that was likely due to my inattention while writing this review. For ~$8 a piece (with shipping), I'll be adding a box to my humidor as soon as they are back in stock for those times when I don't want an earthy Montecristo or a strong Partagas Series D or P. It really is a great "sweeter" cigar for enjoying with company, especially those who don't enjoy foraying into the realm of the strongest Cubans but can still appreciate the Cuban touches.
I stand corrected on SLR Regios! Great smoke.Posted on

Nice cigarsMedium body and somewhat complex this is a nice cigar when I want a break from the Bolivar profile. Its usually smooth and with varying flavours. If you haven't tried them you should give them a try.

First Time Purchase Of SLR RegiosBuying a box of these on sale I wasn't really expecting much but after reading all the glowing reviews I thought I'd give it a shot.
Really impressed! I'm more of a mild cigar guy but this was wonderful! Really sweet flavour profile that goes well I think as a after dinner smoke. Has a nice feel in my hand and construction was perfect.
I'd recommend this cigar to anyone looking for something with some great sweet flavors and good construction.Posted on

Excellent CigarBox code denote aging of one year. Packaging was safe and sound. The presentation, feel, and smell forced me to smoke one literally minutes after arrival. Definitely a medium-full cigar. Surprised to see such complexity as it developed--it literally was like smoking two different cigars at one point. Great experience overall and I cannot wait to see what they are like further down the road--if they can even get better. Factor in the price---this is a must have for the collector.

Roll over CohibaA worthy little brother to the double Corona. Full of honey, spice and dried fruit. Great burn and draw from start to finish. Better than the Cohiba Robusto, at a fraction of the price, in my humble opinion.
