Growing too fast.
After smoking the Noella Reserva, I’ve just got to give this Regios Reserva a try. The Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper is very dark with plenty of oils, slight veins throughout. It feels very firm when squeezed, a little light in the hand, and with the cap punched I find the draw to be a tad bit on the loose side.
With fire to the foot, I take a couple puffs and get the smoke flowing well, then take a slow, long draw. A powerful black pepper spice hits my throat and burns slightly, the smoke itself is a good medium to full body with notes of sweet chocolate, vanilla, roasted nuts, and wood.
A third in and the spice is still there, but not as pronounced as before. The medium to full-bodied smoke is quite rich and very creamy over the palate. Flavors are very good with tastes of cocoa, vanilla, wood, and roasted nuts. I’m finding the draw wanting to tighten up on me, so I punch it out a little more and it opens up perfectly with just the right amount of smoke flowing.
The ash is sharp with a strong light gray ash forming. A little over halfway, the burn starts getting a little crazy, requiring a small amount of touching up. The smoke remains a medium to full body with flavors consistent, but turning to a really dark earth right at the end. The finish is very rich and lasting on the palate.
I thoroughly enjoyed this cigar, however I don’t think it was AS rich as the Noella Reserva I had a couple of days ago. Nonetheless, deliciously smooth and rich cigars both. Ed, thank you again for sending these fine sticks for me to try. Excellent!

It is a wonderful smoke.
