Mike, thanks for the "heads-up" on the Cienfuegos!

John, have you tried the Cienfuegos? The wrapper is identical to the Aliados Miami and I go back and forth as to which cigar is better. Either way, these two stogies are gems from Reyes Family Cigars. My top-shelf for sure.

This is a great addition to the Aliados line. I'm impressed even before I start with the classy Aliados red, white, and gold band…And the secondary "Made In Miami Florida" band signals that, yes, this is a very different Aliados stick. Add to that the sweet cedar sleeve with embossed lettering and this cigar is truly a super premium presentation. Of course if the smoke is a dog then I would be seriously let down. Even the Habano wrapper looks rich in color, roll density, and slight tooth. Immediately upon lighting I'm not disappointed in the least. This is the best yet from Reyes IMHO. Good review though I may be inclined to go 4.5 on the rating.

I agree that Aliados Miami are 4/5. But Cienfuegos and the regular Aliados are fantastic! I had never heard of any of these cigars until I got a sampler pack from primostogies.com. Not a fan of Puros Indios, but they have some serious stogies in the Cienfuegos and Aliados lines.

Very nice review. I agree about the subtly of the flavors making it such a great cigar. I have smoked the robusto size, and didn’t get the bitterness in the last third. I smoked a sample that had just been rolled 5 days before, and it was tremendous.

Sounds like a tasty stick to me. I would assume that the bitterness that is present now would resolve somewhat with some age. Nice ruddy shade to the wrapper also.

According to the Reyes website, there's a retailer near me here in Helena. I'm gonna head over there this afternoon to see if they have these in stock. Sounds like a good investment.
