I'm trying to remember the three names that go with REO (As I was told). Rocky Patel, Eddie Ortega and Eric Espinoza I think.

One of them did the Series X also, which is a great but discontinued cigar.

Good review, I agree it is a good cigar and for the money well worth having in the humi.

Thanks for the review. Have not tried one of these yet, but I believe there is one buried in the Humi. Have to give it a try.

I will definitely have to try out the vibe but not for awhile- I officially filled up the humidor today and had (out of nowhere) to get one of my wisdom teeth pulled which btw the doc blamed on my REO lol. I doubt it was the REO but dam did I have a problem flare up out of nowhere. Oh well this is a good way to stop my slide down this terrible slope I suppose as I sit here in pain with a beautiful little 3 pack of Punch and a 12 pack of Gurkha black compliments of Cbid.

Thought I would bump this back up. I just got a box of these off C-bid. If there are newer topics, please forgive, but searching for REO is tough due to the 4 letter rule. So they came in last week and after putting them in the humi for a week, decided to smoke one on the course today as I tried out the new irons. Man oh Man, what a great cigar for the money. Not his best, but for less than $3 a stick on the auction, it was hard to argue a better one. I really enjoyed it (and the new irons).

i like the reo as well. tastes kinda of like a padron with more of a peppery flavor added to it.i got 10 in a reo vs vibe sampler, and when they are gone i will definatly buy more. the vibe on the other hand, is sorta bland and not as enjoyable.

The other day I smoked an REO (no idea where I got it from....) and its was so good I ran inside and ordered a couple 5ers!

Tons of smooth tasty smoke. Decent burn, easy draw, solid feel. I like the 5x50's - seem to be the perfect length.

Always liked these. Not sure why they don't get much love on here.

The Vibe I didn't like at all, but I'd smoke the Reo again.

Great cigars for the price.
