Saint Luis Rey is a renowned brand that has been a stalwart of the cigar industry for decades, but smokers' tastes change as do their preferences for certain sizes. Recognizing this, Saint Luis Rey Gen 2 was released. With years of blending experience behind it, Gen 2 is a wonderful full-bodied cigar. Made in Honduras, this cigar has Nicaraguan and Honduran filler, a Nicaraguan binder and a dark Ecuadorian Habano wrapper. The change in blend and the inclusion of more Nicaraguan tobacco is what gives this cigar the added kick over its predecessors. (Shop all Saint Luis Rey Cigars)
The traditional Saint Luis Rey band is augmented with a secondary band of black, silver, and red with the words Gen 2 on it. Pre-light inspection revealed a dark and somewhat oily wrapper and a very densely packed cigar. A slight earthy aroma was prevalent from the foot. Upon lighting this earthiness was replaced with a cedar and spice taste that transformed and mellowed as we smoked. There was also a flavor of light coffee that seemed to weave itself around the cigar.
With a perfect burn and wonderful flavor, Saint Luis Rey Gen 2 is an awesome new blend from the famous brand. For those used to the more medium-bodied version, Gen 2 is a great cigar to step up the flavor profile of your smokes. With its cedar, spice, and coffee undertones, this cigar meshed perfectly with a smoky Islay scotch. Another great smoke from this factory is the Saint Luis Rey Serie G.
