Saint Luis Rey Petit Corona TGR MAR05

Appearance: fairly light wrapper, a few little bumps.

Construction: very solid.

Aroma: roasted tobacco.

Draw: open but not a wind tunnel.

Burn: perfect.

Body: medium-light.

Time: 41 min.

Drink: coffee with plenty of Kahlua, it's freeeeeeeeeezing in Northern California.

Open: fairly light with just hints of roasted nuts and tobacco.

1/3: opened up a little with nice honey and cream but not much else.

2/3: stayed nice and creamy with lip smacking peanut butter flavors that I expect from SLR.

Final: body picked up a little with walnuts and toffee on the finish.

I was disappointed with this cigar, I thought considering the age of this cigar it would have more flavor. It did have a nice can't stop licking my lips butteriness but I kept waiting for a flavor explosion that never happened. Maybe it was just to f#&king cold outside. A nice morning cigar that I hope just needs more time and a little warmth.

Score: 85

Thanks for the review - it's kind of my take on SLR in general. A dense, buttery sensation on the palate which makes me think the flavor

development will come along any minute. It never does.

Nice review and awesome pictures. Thanks for sharing. I haven't had the chance to try this vitola yet. I don't see it up on Czar's website.

Really liked these in the 90s. Found the 02 & 03 version to be much lighter & less satifying. You have 05s & in general I haven't been impressed by many cigar of any brand from 04 & 05. Luckily there were recently some 98 SLR PCs recently available & those are nice.
