Featured product: Regius Cigars

Hello cigar smokers,
Today I'm presenting Regius cigars. This company is based in London and all of their cigars are rolled in Nicaragua, with mostly Nicaraguan tobaccos. We stock a few of their different blends, although I wouldn't say they're for all smokers. These cigars I would say are blended for the Nicaraguan cigar enthusiast, and are a good alternative to Tatuaje, Illusione, Atilier and other "boutique" cigar brands.
We stock 3 blends by Regius, the flagship Black Label, the Red Label and the White Label. The Black Label is a medium to full bodied cigar, with a smoothness that is uncommon in Nicaraguan cigars, but it still has that strength that is characteristic of Nicaraguan tobacco.We stock the Black Label in a Robusto and a Churchill size. I prefer the Churchill myself, I think the longer size and smaller ring gauge works better for the blend.

The Red Label definitely brings more strength and flavor than the Black Label. The Red Label cigars have 2 bands on them, reading, "Exclusivo USA" on the bottom band. It has an oily and sweet wrapper, and it gets kind of peppery as it smokes on. We stock this cigar in a Lancero and in a big ring gauge Perfecto. The Lancero gives a more concise, complex flavor while the Fat Perfecto gives a bigger draw and less of a spicy sensation. The Red Label definitely offers a wider range of flavors than the Black Label and is produced in more imaginative sizes that connoisseurs enjoy.

The Regius White Label continues on that path, and adds some more complex flavors into the blend. It is offered in all the sizes that the Red Label is available in, and also has the same "Exclusive USA" band underneath the first band. instead of stocking it in the same sizes we have the Red Label in, we have it in a box pressed Perfecto, which is slightly less wide and a little longer than the Fat Perfecto. The pressed Perfecto is similar in dimensions to the Oliva V Serie Melanio Perfecto that won the Cigar Aficionado Cigar of the year, and I would say the Regius White Label is a high quality Nicaraguan cigar that is worthy of being compared to the highest rated Oliva.
