Altadis has giving its Saint Luis Rey brand a facelift and a newer, bolder flavor with the new
, which comes out this month.
SLR Gen2 is a blend of Honduran and Nicaraguan fillers, a
Nicaraguan Binder and a wrapper leaf of Ecuadoran Sumatra (the original
blend features a Honduran wrapper and includes filler from Peru).
This is a fuller-bodied Saint Luis Rey. The traditional Saint
Luis Rey was medium bodied, so this newer Saint Luis Rey is a completely
different blend, but has the same identity to play off those same sweet
spots.
Altadis released Gen2 in three sizes: Robusto at 4 1/2
inches by 54 ring, Toro at 6 by 54 and Titan at 6 by 60. Despite the
supercripted "2" in the name, which could be read as "squared," the
cigars are round rather than box-pressed. They all come in boxes of 21,
and will range in price from $5.75 to $6.75 per cigar.
