squizz Posted November 15, 2016 Posted November 15, 2016 Looks like Cuba will be the latest regional release. 2
rootsrock Posted November 15, 2016 Posted November 15, 2016 Sounds interestingSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Lotusguy Posted November 16, 2016 Posted November 16, 2016 At least the packaging is a little more special. 1
TheMonk Posted November 16, 2016 Posted November 16, 2016 If it's not a jawbreaker, could be interesting... I usually enjoy SLR.

Nino Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 Price is 117 CUC for a box of 10. Personally I didn't like the ones I had, quite tasteless and a pronounced lack of strenght. That opinion was shared by others as well, while Cuban friends agreed and mentioned that later boxes might have a better (stronger) blend ... 2

NSXCIGAR Posted May 19, 2017 Posted May 19, 2017 Smoked my first Marquez today. Very good cigar, but had some burn issues, especially in the final third. Draw was a bit tight. I thought it had quite a bit of SLR DNA. Medium all the way, some very light fruity sweetness and light cherry but not quite as distinct as they could be. I think 3-5 years might really bring these out a bit more. Definitely not bland, but a little one-dimensional right now and no one flavor standing out. Overall score was a 90, but without the burn issues would have been a 92 or 93. Not sure if this will over be a high 90s cigar but some potential for a solid 95-96 in the medium term. 4
madandana Posted May 19, 2017 Posted May 19, 2017 Thanks for the report. I've been wondering about them. I have a few boxes sleeping.
havanaclub Posted May 19, 2017 Posted May 19, 2017 Yes, thanks for the update. I have a box resting and have tried to forget about them. My birthday is coming up in a few days and might fire one up! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Benzopyrene Posted May 20, 2017 Posted May 20, 2017 Ive smoked half a box of these and really like them. A winner for me, and I had low expectations

Exact same experience, enjoyed thoroughly but spotty construction.
torsion Posted May 22, 2017 Posted May 22, 2017 Smoked my first one last night after letting them rest from my March trip.I've tried having an open mind as I've read mixed reviews.To my palate the flavours really seemed muted.I didn't have much patience and put it down just after the first third and put to flame my back up cigar which was a Jorge Lopez rolled CCE size.That was good no questioning that!I rarely If at all pitch cigars-after the custom roll I tried the SLR again but still didn't improve.Not sure if age will help-will try in a few monthsSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2
Bartolomeo Posted May 22, 2017 Posted May 22, 2017 Smoked 4, all duds so far, will revisit down the road
El Presidente Posted May 22, 2017 Posted May 22, 2017 outside of the Saint Luis Rey Regio.....all Saint Luis Rey need time. There are no shortcuts unfortunately. It's a blend thing 3
