Saint Luis Rey Regio ORG ABR 17 (PRRRW)

[FatPete]

SLR Regio- ORG ABR 17 (PE from FOH)

Humidor at 66RH dry boxed overnight 

This hermosos No. 4 is nearly a Robusto, with a 48 RG and 5" length.

Prelight:

Sweet tobacco smell

Nice smooth wrapper, construction appears good.

Band slides easily 

V-cut gave nice sweet tobacco draw

 

First Third:

Burns nicely

Bready, sweet & smooth. The bread is the kind of white bread made with lots of yeast. A scent of aromatic wood fills the air. Some almond towards the end, combined with the bread made it a bit like a Bakewell tart, minus the jam.

Mild, very smooth.

 

Second third:

All bread, with a hint of white pepper 

 

Last third:

Sweetness goes, though is still creamy.

Mainly tobacco with a little white pepper, still smooth & like that to the end. 

Burn was perfect, although I started with black trousers, now they are grey as the ash was very flakey.

Took just over an hour to smoke.

 

Conclusion: A nice to try a cigar to try if you want a change from the coffee/cocoa/earthy/woody cigars. I loved the Bakewell tart profile of the first third, and it's overall sweetness, mildness and creamy texture.
