Saint Luis Rey
Year of foundation: 1940
Tobacco Country: Cuba
Tobacco Procedence: Vuelta Abajo
Factory: Romeo y Julieta
While the origin of the name is not very clear, it may be because of the 1927 novel “The Bridge of San Luis Rey” from American author Thornton Wilder, or it may as well because of Louis IX, the 13th century King of France nicknamed Saint Louis. But it may be simply because of the town of San Luis located in the Vuelta Abajo tobacco zone. Saint Luis Rey has been established in 1938 and is manufacturing only handmade cigars using tobacco from the Vuelta Abajo and the Semi Vuelta region. The best selling vitola is the Saint Luis Regios as the other cigars of the line-up have been discontinued since the 2010’s.
There is also a Non Cuban Saint Luis Rey cigar brand that was started after the Cuban revolution. However, the original brand is Cuban Saint Luis Rey that is mentioned here.
