These expertly rolled cigars achieve their renowned full-flavor and aroma using a complex medium-to-full-bodied blend of Honduran, Nicaraguan and Peruvian longfiller tobaccos in your choice of lush, natural Nicaraguan, or Mexican San Andres Morron Maduro wrappers. (Some Maduros are BOX-PRESSED)
Presented in handsome, black lacquered boxes, this highly-rated selection offers you a smooth, well-balanced, and robust smoke. For the price, quality, and flavor they offer, Saint Luis Rey Originals are great value.
Dark and delicious, yoll smoke them till your lips burn. Maybe lts the Mexican binder,or the combo of it s filler. What ever it is I can t get enough.triumph!
Fantastic flavor and aroma! Burns nice and slowly... A little resistance on the draw; it will go out if you let it sit for a few minutes... Read the review in Cigar Aficionado - it is right on the money as far as flavors... Dried fruit, nougat, vanilla, smooth tasty tobacco... No bite whatsoever; medium body; not a nicotine bomb.
I ve been smoking this cigar for years..I smoke others -but This Saint Luis Rey I smoke 80% o the time...smooth, medium body, good draws, great hour and a half cigar...Try one..you ll be hooked!
The Muduro wrapper makes it look a little intimidating, but while rich and full, it s not overpowering. You ll know you re smoking a cigar, though. Woody, a scent of leather, perhaps. I always have a drawer full in my humidor. I ve smoked the various sizes; pretty consistent, which is to say great.
One of my favorite cigars period. Lots of smoke that packs a nice punch. Flavors of cedar, leather, ambergris and chocolate right in the nose and a long peppery tobacco finish in the Maduro. If they only had a petite corona for those shorter moments.
These have an even slow burn and nice aroma. Excellent quality for the value.
The SLR Rothchilde Maduro is my regular smoke. You can t beat the value if you like a full-bodied cigar in this size range. I would not recommend this smoke to an inexperienced cigar smoker - at the least, make sure you have a full stomach ahead of time. My only issue with them is inconsistency in build quality. Even within the same box you can often visibly see some cigars have a bigger gauge than the 54 which is advertised. Draw quality is almost always very good and I rarely have any burn consistency issues maybe 1 cigar out of 3 boxes, if that . For the price though, it s hard to complain at all.
The SLRs are an amazing value. Yes, you ll occasionally get a plugged one, or one that burns uneven, but for the price it s almost excusable. If you like dark, strong smokes I recommend trying these. If you re not a regular cigar smoker, make sure you eat first because they pack a punch, especially the maduro. My one serious complaint is the ring gauge consistency. Some batches are noticeably closer to 52 or 56 than the advertised 54.
nice smoke
I tried these over the summer at the request of a friend. I was not disappointed. I tried the Rothchild Robusto and love the 5x54 size. The Maduro is outstanding. At first lite you get notes of black pepper and a little coffee. Then past the first third you settle into the chocolates dark and rich with more coffee flavors. The burn is very consistant with very little touch ups needed. Truly a great smoke for the money. Can t wait to try the Habano Natural.
