Some say that its name was taken from a Thornton Wilder play
“The Bridge of San Luis Rey”, which was popular at the time.
However it is more likely that it refers to the town of San Luis in the heart of the Vuelta Abajo
tobacco region, which is particularly famous for the superb wrapper leaves produced there.
Whatever the truth may be Saint Luis Rey cigars enjoy a reputation among cigars lovers for the
intensity of their flavour throughout the range. They are made with leaves from the Vuelta Abajo
and Semi Vuelta regions.
All sizes are "Totalmente a mano, tripa larga" - totally hand made long filler.
