Default Augusto Reyes

Been eyeballing these for some time now. Wondering if anybody has experience with the Augusto Reyes line up. I see there a 20 stick sampler for $40 at CI.

He makes a lot of Thompson's house brands.

Great review BTW. That is the case with most of their sticks. Always loads of free sticks packed inside whatever they are selling. It's the "too good to be true" deals.

Hahaha to be fair, I don't think he makes the Don Loogie. He does make the Empressario which is almost as bad. Reyes and Victor Sinclair make about 50% of Thompson's stuff.

I have noticed that they've stopped dropping Reyes' name in the ad copy of said cigars. Maybe he's trying to distance himself from them with his new brands? I smoked a few Nativos and didn't care for them. I would be willing to try the other self-titled lines though. Most cigar makers get better over time.

I have not had one but my friend loves the Nativo version (black band). I end up grabbing him a fiver whenever I have a CBid order coming.

I tried to smoke a Nativo, once. It was awful. I have renamed him Disgusto Reyes.
