If you are like me, you don't know very much about Regius cigars. Owner Akhil Kapacee, a London Native, left the banking industry at 23 and went into the cigar business. Akhil was impressed with the Plasencia factory and chose them to roll his cigars. The first blend released was Regius Black Label in 2010. Since then, Akhil has been going strong and including more spicy cigars in his portfolio. Regius Exclusivo U Red is a Nicaraguan Puro. I found it to be medium in body and strength with a 1hr. 50min. smoking time on the toro vitola.

The Herrera Esteli Ho’ala Tienda Exclusiva is a 4 7/8” x 46 petite corona wrapped in a toothy Mexican San Andres capa, with undisclosed binder and filler leaves hand selected by Willy Herrera for their strength and exquisite taste. The Ho’ala was inspired by a trip to the island of Maui where Willy watched the sun rise over the clouds on top Haleakala Crater. Ho’ala translates to “Rise Up,” a name given to match the stronger profile of this cigar in a vitola that is a perfect morning smoke to rise up and greet the sun. From El Titan de Bronze, Drew Estate Master Blender Willy Herrera adds, “Every year I make a journey to Hawaii to find peace and inspiration. Watching the sun rise on top of Haleakala Crater made me crave a bolder blend in a size I can light up to rise up and meet the day. I immediately set to work at La Gran Fabrica and selected a unique blend that is unlike the rest of the Herrera line. You need to experience this petite corona.” - DE website
