The Saint Luis Rey Carenas line, initially launched in 2021, is expanding with a new blend: the Saint Luis Rey Carenas Ultramar. This latest offering from Altadis U.S.A. pays homage to the early cigar trade, when 16th-century Spanish ships journeyed ‘ultramar’—overseas—from Puerto Carenas in the New World to Spain, carrying tobacco leaves. These precious leaves, destined for the King of Spain, were secretly stored in barrels in hidden parts of the ship to protect them from pirates.
“The transport of tobacco in the ships destined for Spain from the New World, was the first known form of tobacco fermentation and aging” explains Gabe Diaz, Brand Manager for AUSA. “The original Saint Luis Rey Carenas parallels how the tobacco would have tasted in the New World… The Saint Luis Rey Carenas Ultramar represents the extra-aged tobacco that would have been smoked upon the shipment’s arrival in Spain.”
Saint Luis Rey Carenas Ultramar is an extra-aged blend of tobaccos developed by the Grupo de Maestros of La Flor de Copan and is handmade in Honduras with Honduran and Nicaraguan filler and Nicaraguan wrapper and binder.
