The Saint Luis Rey Regios is the last surviving size of the brand, which boasts origins dating back to the 40s of the previous century. The vitola de galera is Hermoso No. 4. It is currently sold in the classic 25-count boxes (Semi Plain Box), but until 2012 it was also available in a 50-count Slide Lid Box.
Visually, the cigar presents wrappers that can vary from Claro to Colorado Claro, almost always shiny and with golden reflections. To the touch, they are smooth and free of veins. The general construction is excellent.

Saint Luis Rey Regios: aromas of earth, wood, and floral notes are perceived in the cold draw.
The opening is sapid, with marked mineral tones, followed by wood and earth. Strength is medium (3/5).
The sapidity remains unchanged. The minerality increases, becoming equal to the wood, while notes of leather and metallic nuances also appear. Strength increases, becoming medium-full (4/5).
In the last third, the sapidity is flanked by a bitter note that does not unbalance the profile. The wood becomes the dominant aroma, followed by nuts, and closes with the usual metallic hint. Strength does not change (4/5).
In conclusion, the Saint Luis Rey Regios still manages to stay true to the brand, thanks above all to the sapidity and mineral aroma, a characteristic feature of the brand. It is balanced and never dull. The strength is sustained, but the flavor intensity holds its own. Consistency in production is another element in favor of this product.
