Saint Luis Rey Serie A
Origin: Cuba
Size: 5.63 X 46
Wrapper: Natural

From TopCubans.com:
Created in the mid 1950s by two British importers, these outstanding cigars enjoy a loyal following which included some famous names like Frank Sinatra and James Coburn. Only 60,000 cigars are produced each year, and they are among the very best Havanas available on the market.

Special characteristics of the brand include their oily, dark, smooth wrappers, a very full bodied, highly-refined flavor, and superb aroma. They represent an excellent value as they tend to be somewhat less expensive than cigars of comparable quality and prestige.

Make special note of the Saint Luis Rey label which is red with white and gold. These must never be confused with the black-labeled San Luis Rey, which is a Cuban-made brand for the German market. Some Saint Luis Reys are actually machine made in Germany for the mass market. Their black labels bear an emblem not dissimilar to the superior Saint Luis Reys.

And this is from London Cigar Co. --If I ever write ANYTHING that even remotely sounds like this please SHOOT ME!! Be sure to adjust your Ascots when you have finished reading:

Round and well balanced - a summery musk - opening on full, progressive flavours. The evolution of aromas takes place within a woody spectrum, followed by a honeyed trace, before ending on a sustained note of warm exotic nuances. Undeniably seductive.

Notes:

OK...I have no affiliation with whoever the woman from London Cigar that wrote that poem. As far as I'm concerned this is still a cigar. And this is still a cigar review site, not a fucking sensitivity seminar. The only "summer musk" I ever came across was on this fat Scottish chick that I dated back in the early 80's, but that's another story.

This "honeyed traced seductress" to me is just a really good, strong flavor-full cigar. The construction was nice and solid. And although it looks a bit rough, it's not. These are a classic Cuban and they are relatively affordable. Don't let all the sissy talk above scare you off, men can smoke these too.
