Saint Luis Rey Lonsdales Review:
This is a fresh, aromatic, floral and mellow cigar. The medium (maybe mild) tobacco taste is balanced in perfection with an outstanding honey sweetness, spicy but not too much and some subtle notes of cocoa. The minimum ageing recommended for this cigar is at least four years.

Review #13:  One of the best lonsdales IMO. Never a bad draw. I have had some from the 70's and 90's, and from 2006.
All have provided flavors of dark chocolate, with earthy spiciness building up as it is smoked. The ones from 1998 are really really dark. If you concentrate and draw slowly you will be rewarded. Complex flavors abound. - Submitted by planetbetter on November 4, 2007
Review #12: I didn't find this cigar particularly appealing. It was a decent smoke, with a bit of complexity, but it didn't have the kind of flavours that I like in a Cuban cigar. It seemed to be just earthy, woody, and leathery; very simple, to put it in a word. The draw was a bit tight too. Not a poor cigar by any means; more boring than anything. - Submitted by agraupe on August 16, 2007
Review #11: I was lucky enough to get an 03' cab of these now discontinued ( in 50 cabs ) smokes .Amazingly, my first 3 from this cab have had perfect burn and draw .Upon close inspection it appears that the rest have superior construction as well . As a result the flavors and enjoyment from these is very good and should get better with age .Many say 03' is a good year for SLRs in general and I must agree that these are a MUST if you enjoy this Marca . A more floral version of the series A with some of the wood and tobacco tones from the Hoyo Des Dieux .Only the Bolivar lonsdales I've sampled were superior to this batch of Cervantes . - Submitted by wahoo33 on April 12, 2007
Review #10: I smoked one of this cigar from a box dated 1988. The ageing has done a great job on this cigar. It started with floral and cream, coffee and chocolate in the mid section, and finally finish off with light leather. A wonderful cigar for ageing. The interesting aspect of this cigar is the wrapper. The wrapper is rolled like we rolled the hand grip of our tennis racket instead of the normal way of rolling newer cigar such as the series A. - Submitted by pak on April 9, 2007
Review #9: I purchased one of these with great anticipation in Nurnberg, Germany. It was from a box vintage 2000. The wrapper was smooth, if looking a little rugged. I was excited, but I think I had some bad luck. Because, it was as if I had walked in on a beautiful women in the middle of dressing when she isn't ready to be seen. Or opening a birthday present the day before your birthday and knowing you did something wrong. What I mean is this has all the potential, but even at year 2000, at least from the box I was smoking it wasn't ready. The smoke was rough, (compared to a Partagas lonsdale I smoked immediately after, from 2000 as well)and the flavors were bunched together like it thought it was still fresh from the field. But this cigar has potential. It is rustic and unique, and I could still taste what will come. Something nutty, volcanic and sweet. It just wasn't there yet. - Submitted by Jimbo on March 12, 2007
