Quick Smoke: Regius Claro Especial Exclusivo U.S.A. Pressed Perfecto

Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief take on a single cigar.

Made at the Plasencia factory in Nicaragua, the Claro edition of the U.K.-based Regius Exclusivo U.S.A. line features a white primary band above a red, white, and silver secondary band. The Nicaraguan puro sports a light brown wrapper and dual binders. Once lit, I find light spice, woody notes, and bready flavors. Billed as lighter than the original Exclusivo U.S.A. line, it falls distinctly in the medium-bodied range. The Pressed Perfecto shape (6.5 x 56) shows off excellent construction and combustion qualities.

Verdict = Buy.
