The "Saint Luis Rey" brand was founded shortly before the Second World War. Some say that the brand name is an allusion to Thornton Wilder's theatre play "The Bridge of San Luis Rey", which was very popular at the time. The Saint Luis Rey Regios are made entirely by hand, tripa larga - exclusively from longfillers.

Some say that the brand name is an allusion to Thornton Wilder's play "The Bridge of San Luis Rey", which was very popular at the time. However, it is more likely that it is dedicated to the town of San Luis in the heart of the Vuelta Abajo, where excellent wrappers for Habanos are still produced today.
Whatever the reality, the "Saint Luis Rey" habanos have a good reputation among aficionados due to their strong flavour.
Only the "Regios" format is currently available.
It consists of filler and binder leaves from the Vuelta Abajo tobacco-growing region.
The Saint Luis Rey Regios are made entirely by hand, tripa larga - long fillers filled entirely by hand.
