ERDM CX and SLR Regios (TGORW)

[RDB]

Double header here: El Rey Del Mundo Choix Supreme OMS SEP 15 and Saint Luis Rey Regios ORG SEP 15. Both are among the last few from their respective boxes, and both decent looking examples: not the very best but perfectly ok. Construction on both turned out very well.

The good oil is: these almost extinct, single vitola marcas deserve our support!

The Choix was nutty, moderately rich, a little grassy, under medium bodied, but most importantly a damn fine, satisfying smoke. Not particularly sweet and nothing like Cohiba (a similarity that some see), but distinctively different from anything else in the catalogue.

The SLR Regios had that outrageous first-puff sweetness you sometimes get: like inhaling the icing sugar off a sponge cake. It settled down a bit after that in terms of flavour, and the big surprise was this cigar turned out to be both significantly fuller in body than the Choix and strong in nicotine. Another satisfying smoke.

Of course the Hermoso #4 vitola is also excellent…

Among my favorites right now. Along with the Ex 4.

The Choix was perhaps the worst, mildest, no flavored Cuban cigar I have ever smoked. Traded the box away. Will never buy again. Was like smoking hot air. Flavorless filler. 

Regios never tried. But would like to one day. Unless they also command $100usd/cigar one day. Ooph!
