SLR Regios AND SP Belicosos (SSSRW)

[ha_banos]

Just so happened was at a tasting event Thursday night for the SP Belicosos and Black Tot Rum. I got there about an hour early so randomly picked a SLR Regios before the main event! Both were 2022 box dates. Both were great.

Regios was great off the bat. Smooth, aromatic plenty flavours. Retrohale friendly. Finished my coffee and saw me through an old fashioned. If I had space I'd have a box. Didn't intensify by the last third though. Maybe it was me. But still good at the end too. My first 22 cigar! I see what people mean these days. Totally approachable fresh.

Next up. May be my first SP Belicosos. Again very happy. Lovely with 3 Black Tot Rums. Again that smooth easy retrohale. Plenty flavor and aroma. Stood up against the backdrop of rums. Lovely. Got sharper after half way. But not too much. I'll get a box too in time.

Lovely regular productions. In good setting and company. Even went across the road to the American bar after for a beer and Sazerac. But didn't buy any of these 😁

I know. Missed most of the others. Almost grabbed a Prado instead of the Regios. Steered by the hand of Moh obvs.

The Prado used to be fairly reasonably priced in the UK, managed to pick up a box from the people that sound like they have a fancy magazine for about £170.

I picked up a box from that hookey outfit down under 😋

Lol. We did comment how basic the SP bands are. Wonder if there's plans to revamp like say qdo? Which were never this poorly printed! Even the current one used as an example here is as bad! https://www.cubancigarwebsite.com/brand/sancho-panza must be an anti-counterfitting thing. I was surprised to see there are 4 evolutions!

Don't the regionals have a more substantial paper for the band? They could at least do that for it.
