Saint Luis Rey Rothschild Maduro Review

[Outlaw God]

$4.- $5.
5 x 54

Prelight: Sweet leather, hay, cocoa

1st 1/3
Sweet smooth maduro wrapper comes through as just that, medium-to-full, great draw, spicy slight pepper notes get stronger, woody, cocoa and coffee note also.
Not very dimensional but the cigar is still pleasant smoke, burn straight and great construction.

2nd 1/3
Now smoother, with the sweet leather and earth coming out
Had to touch it up because of it going off center

Final 1/3
Getting pepper now with leather notes, that's it
Getting to hot...
Smoke time: 40 min
Score: 5 out of 10

A 5x54 in 40 minutes? Not surprised to hear you say "getting too hot"
Try slowing down.

I tossed it with 2 1/4 inches left tasting to much pepper, my most hated note and it was 106 out didn't help

I will say that the flavor of the Saint Luis Reys has been consistent through the last few years. That puts them on my "buy when I don't know what else to buy" list, when traveling and trying to support some non-local B&M.

Thanks for posting these reviews by the way.
