"Another great smoke"
I know its fashionable marketing to go for the rocky patels of this world these days but frankly these St Luis Rey range is better than those. No duds either.

"No so good"
Overall construction was quite nice as was the even burn. The downside being the draw was consistently plugged from start to finish. I did actually enjoy the flavor (basic medium... but in a good way) for the 1/2 but ended up giving up on it long before 'nub time'.

"AWFUL, AWFUL."
NOTHWITHSTANDING MY MODEST EXPECTATIONS BASED ON THE LOW PRICE, I WAS SHOCKED AT HOW BITTER AND NASTY-TASTING THIS CIGAR WAS. I TOSSED THE FIRST ONE AFTER ONE PUFF, THEN TRIED TWO MORE IMMEDIATELY. EASY DRAW BUT THE TASTE WAS WORSE THAN THE CHEAPEST BUNDLE STICK IN DECADES.

""In the List""
Very enyoyable and pleasant cigar, it has a very good burn and construction, with a hard and long ash , the flavor is mild-medium, smooth, with sweet and floral character, very recomemndable for a short evening, I considered this one on my 20s list !!

"SLR reminds me of why I started smoking to begin w"
This was my first premium smoke some years ago. A beautiful, deep, rich experience- Saint Luis Rey really puts together a very satisfying recipe of fine tobaccos. I have tried all of the top brands, and find myself always coming back to this one. For quality, regardless of price, this is a top cigar that delivers and consistently reminds me of why I started smoking to begin with.

"Horrible"
This was maybe the worst cigar I have ever smoked. It tasted like burning leaves. It canoed from the start. The wrapper had no taste to it all. I had to stop smoking it because it burned down into the center so far that it became hollow near the cap. I would never even consider buying these again. I wouldn't even take one as a gift.

"Relaxing Smoke"
I found this to be a very relaxing smoke. A great conversation cigar. A fine choice of tobacco blend. I would suggest this cigar to newcomer and veteran. Outstanding on all levels; burn consistency, draw and flavor.

"Dried out, hot, and harsh"
This is the most disappointing purchase I have made in 10 years of cigar smoking. My expectations were high after reading the review of these in CA. I tried 2 cigars out of the box and both were horrible. They were extremely dry, burned very hot, and tasted like burning paper. This will be the first box of cigars I have ever returned.

"Nice cigar for the price"
It started out full strength. spicy and peppery but that only lasted about the first inch or so. It quickly mellowed to a more medium strength stick that had a decent flavor. Will buy again at these prices

"Great cigar"
I had many flavor profiles come up all enjoyable, sweet, charcoal, chocolate, and many more just smoke a third. Will update!
