Cuesta Rey NO.7 Robusto Centro Fino (SG) Review

[HonkyTonk]

Today, for the first time, I smoked a Cuesta Rey NO.7 Robusto Centro Fino (Sun Grown) 4.5 x 50.

NICE! Citrus with woody/cedar notes.

These taste very similar to the Arturo Fuente Chateau Sun Grown ($5-$6/stick). At around $4/stick, the Cuesta Rey is a better value and I think a better tasting cigar.
I love the AF Double Chateau Sun Grown...I need to try a larger version of the Cuesta Rey Sun Grown to compare.

If you like the AF Chateau SG's, you'll love the Cuesta Rey Sun Grown.
My rating: 92/100.

Funny I just read an article about the manufacturers of Cuesta Rey earlier today. Suppossedly they are the oldest surviving premium cigar manufacturer in the US which made me think I should try one or two of thier cigars. Thinking of course you can't stay in business THAT long and not know what the heck you are doing. Also I believe they are pretty closely affiliated with e Fuente factories. I figure on my next B&M trip I migh pick up a few although I'm not too sure about citrus ....

Thanks for the review.

I think your right. I smoked another one and I believe I was tasting "Floral", not citrus.

Never new what floral meant until now.
