Well, if you don't already have a Saint Luis Rey Reserva Especial, or two, in your humidor you may want to fix that. Why? First off, you could spend alot more and get a less quality smoke. Second, it's a smooth blend that has a true medium body yet is quite smooth and well-rounded. Finally, it burns true and for a period well over an hour and thus what is already a value stick becomes even more compelling. Now, you, and I, can't have the complexity of a Padron 1964 at this price and if it has some shortcomings it would have to be in that department. There is little change in the flavor profile as the Saint Luis Rey RE burns and not a much in the way of spiciness that many times, when done well as the Padrons have perfected to a high art, seals the deal and raises a cigar to rare air territory. I actually think that is impossible at this price point and I accept that, you should too because with these caveats mentioned you still get a premium smoke at a knock-out value price. For me, and perhaps you too, this makes this stick a welcome addition to my rotation. Pick up one of these today and see if you don't agree.
