Storage Instructions
Store the Saint Luis Rey Adamastor ER Portugal (10) 2023 in a well maintained humidor to preserve its aroma and construction. Aim for an ambient humidity of about 68% relative humidity and a stable temperature between 65 to 70ºF (18 to 21ºC). Use a calibrated hygrometer and a reliable humidification system or two way humidity packs to keep conditions steady. Avoid rapid swings in humidity or temperature and do not store the cigars in direct sunlight or near heat sources. Allow good air circulation by leaving space between rows and rotating the cigars every few weeks. For short term travel keep them in a travel humidor. For long term cellaring keep humidity steady and monitor periodically to prevent mold or over humidification.
Care Tips
Handle the Saint Luis Rey Adamastor ER Portugal (10) 2023 gently to protect the wrapper. Hold the cigar by the body and avoid pinching the cap. Use a sharp cutter and make a clean straight cut just above the cap seam to prevent tearing. If you receive these cigars from another climate let them acclimate in your humidor for at least one to two weeks before smoking. While they can be enjoyed right away after acclimation they will develop greater balance and complexity with six months to two years of careful aging in a stable humidor. Inspect occasionally for plume or mold. A light white powder that wipes off easily is plume and indicates natural oil migration and aging. Fuzzy or colored spots that do not wipe away are likely mold and should be isolated and removed. When ready to light, toast the foot gently and draw evenly to protect the wrapper and preserve flavor. These simple practices will help you enjoy the Saint Luis Rey Adamastor ER Portugal (10) 2023 at its best now and into the future.

Tasting Notes
The Saint Luis Rey Adamastor ER Portugal (10) 2023—an Edición Regional crafted for Portugal—delivers a polished, medium-to-full-bodied smoking experience that unfolds with deliberate complexity. Initial draws present rich espresso and dark cocoa, underpinned by warm cedar and supple leather, while a savory black-pepper spice threads through the heart. Mid-smoke reveals subtle maritime minerality and toasted almond, brightened by a whisper of orange zest and caramel sweetness. Aromas waft with baked tobacco, honeyed oak and a faint sea breeze, finishing long and balanced with a lingering cocoa-dust and spice echo.
Pairing Suggestions
Tawny Port (10–20 year): its dried-fruit sweetness and nutty caramel notes mirror the cigar’s cocoa and almond tones while the Acidity lifts the finish. Single-origin espresso (Sumatra or Brazilian): a dense, syrupy espresso amplifies the cigar’s dark-roast and leather character and refreshes the palate between puffs. Aged single‑barrel rum or 70% dark chocolate: the rum’s molasses and vanilla harmonize with the cigar’s cedar and caramel, while a high-quality dark chocolate accentuates the cigar’s cocoa bitterness and adds a luxurious counterpoint.
