I have long been a fan of of Rolando Reyes Sr and the tasty cigars he produced. Sure his big Puros pyramids have been likened to “sucking on a 2″ PVC pipe”, but I like the flavor. Also his Cienfuegos and Cuba Aliados (especially the diademas). Was looking forward to something really great with the Reyes Family Premium Perfecto. What a letdown! The taste is unidimentional and somewhat sour with a woody finish. The caps on both ends are poorly and haphazardly attached and tend to unravel as they heat up, on the foot at least. Carlos Diez has stated that he wants to “take the company to the next level”. This is not the way.

Thanks all for the comment love. It’s always good to hear feedback.

Jam- I agree, The Reyes Family are a bunch of great people. I really enjoy their other lines. That fact alone made if difficult for me to say bad things about the two new lines (Premier and Classic). I really wanted to disagree with Ed and give the smoke a thumbs up Brian pic at the end.

The previous premier I had was OK, but both of Ed’s were bad. I will give them another chance though.

If anyone had other experiences with them, of course we’d love to hear about it.

Another fine review. You guys make for a good video review as always. It’s always a bummer to spend the time “not enjoying” a cigar. My lunch hour today was spent just that way leaving me wanting to fire up a good one but I was out of time. Oh well on to the next one. Thanks again guys.

Gentlemen,

Thanks for an honest review, it is a pleasure to watch your reviews. Unfortunately, not every cigar can or will be great and that really needs to be reported accurately.

Nice review.

Can’t wait for the Opus X one. I’m definitely in Ed’s camp as far as those go. Really interested in seeing how it turns out.
