Saint Luis Rey Natural Broadleaf
$23.00 – $180.72This brand started in Cuba in 1940 and is still being made there. When Cigar Giant Altadis acquired the name for the US, production went from the Dominican Republic to Honduras where it remains. As time passed the brand began to evolve attracting new smokers. This edition was launched in 2017 and is a special one. Those of us that know this brand understand what full bodied smokes are.
The great part of this one is that it is literally packed with tobacco to the point of it feeling hard to the touch. This is one of the slowest burning, best drawing sticks around. The blend yields a very robust tasting mixture of sweetness and spice that increases as you move along.

Casa Fernandez Miami Reserva Maduro
$46.00 – $208.44When you consider the vast array of entries this iconic company offers, it can become pleasantly difficult deciphering what sets each one apart from another. The Miami Reserva editions stand out in that what’s known as Medio Tiempo leaves are added to the fillers. These smallest leaves located at the very top of the plant contain the highest concentration of oil. Hence, they noticeably enhance the entire flavor spectrum of the cigar’s character. I’ve often said that taste is a personal preference. What I can say is that the dark San Andreas Mexican maduro wrapper added to this cigars blend produces a solidly full bodied stick with very defined undertones of sweetness, spice and fruit that noticeably increase in intensity and strength as you move along.
