Purchased two of these one for a friend and one for myself as we both enjoy the romeo no2s. Took it on holiday with me and saved it till the last evening as a holiday treat. I had smoked a inka secret blend rojo red tres petit corona a few evenings before and was surprised by how tasty it was, especially as it was a cheap smoke. The same can not be said for this. It was not a bad smoke but by no means a good smoke. The best i can say is that it past 45 mins or so inoffensivley but for me it was quite bland and lacked any real flavour.

What an awesome budget range big cigar! Smoked this on a wander along the River Lym towards Lyme Regis (almost sounds like Regius!) and was blown away by it's flavour, complexity and taste.
At first I thought the cigar felt a little full (i.e possibly plugged) but I needn't have worried. It lit superbly and delivered all the way to the end. It had hints of wood and nuts and lashings of cream to compliment its flavours.
I've smoked quite a few Regius cigars before but I have to say this is by far the best of the bunch. Will definitely be back for more of these.

Montecristo Puritos Cigar - Pack of 5
by Thomas
Lovely little cigar, very smooth and sweet until the last inch, with a nice spicy kick at the end. As others have said these are perfect if you enjoy the supermarket standard small cigars and want a bit more of a treat. Got a good 20 minutes with a very consistent burn, highly recommend (especially for the price).

Superb cigar! Lit well, nice draw, plenty of rich grey smoke and a beautifully packed whitish, grey ash. It has a nice rich flavour but not too overpowering. I'm having it with a glass of neat Makers Mark and they are complimenting each other well. I bought this to go with a varied selection of holiday cigars and now I'm regretting only buying the one.
I'm halfway through and still the ash is sitting in one piece from lighting - not bad considering I'm sitting outside with a fair breeze blowing.
Oliva has always made fine alternatives to my favoured Cubans but in my option they are surpassing themselves these days.
Oooops! Took my eye of the ball and now have a lap full of ash - no matter, it was worth it.
Excellent smoke at an excellent price.

Perfect draw, burn and construction. Lasted a full 45 minutes. Wonderful flavours all the way down. Slight nicotine "hit," at the end but that was probably my fault for smoking it almost until it burnt my fingers. Didn't want to put this one down.

Had one of these that I picked up in Spain, had a bit of age to it as it was heavy with plume. I knew it was going to be a light smoke but I didn't realise how delicate these are when aged well.
Loads of flavor changes and sweet leather and almond tastes. I prefer something a little heavier but it was still a luxurious experience.
Didn't feel any nicotine at all which was disappointing. Had a marzipan taste lingering for hours after the cigar had long gone which was very nice.
Won't be buying any more from this brand because they are just too light for me in the flavour and nicotine department.
