Good day everyone! This time around, we were able to try the Saint Luis Rey Reserva Especial. We were all excited for this medium to full bodied gem, as it proved itself to be, because of all the positive feedback we found from other bloggers, reviewers, and so fourth.





The pre draw was very easy. Not a single one of us, that's eight gentlemen this time around had a tough draw at all. The cigar gave off small chocolate, cocoa notes, but was mostly woody. Surprisingly, there was hardly any spice or pepper left on the lips that we've encountered in the past.





The first third of the cigar started incredibly well. A very delightful and delicious taste of a mellow chocolate covered the palate first, followed by a very subtle earthy, almost grain-like taste with hardly any spice followed behind, making this cigar sweetly complex to start.





The second third of the stick was everything the first third was, with a little more pop on the tastebuds. The woody/earthy tones kicked up quite a bit, but was not overbearing of the cocoa aftertaste. At this point, the cigar was still leaving a very delectable, lingering taste that was quite enjoyable.





The final third of the cigar finished incredibly well. The spice finally made its way around and sat on the lips and tongue throughout the final flavor profile puff. The woody/earthy notes died just a little bit, but did so to easily notice the enhanced spice and almost oily type finish.





The Saint Luis Rey Reserve Especial was a delicious, solid cigar, and for the price, you cannot go wrong with getting a stick to enjoy for youself!
