Reyes Family is a brand of handmade premium cigar owned by Reyes Family Cigars, Inc. (formerly Puros Indios, Inc.) The cigars are made at the Puros Indios factory in Danlí, Honduras.
History and background[edit]
In the fall of 2007, Rolando Reyes, Sr. stepped down as President of Puros Indios, Inc., and appointed his son Rolando Reyes Junior to be his successor. As the new President, he was overthrown by sister Oneida, Husband Enrique Diez, and two sons. They took all of the family properties and put it under their name prior to Rolando's death. They changed the name of the company to Reyes Cigars, Inc., and announced the introduction of three new lines of cigars using completely new artwork for the bands and packaging.[1][2]
Description[edit]
The new branding currently consists of three lines, the Reyes Premier, the Classic and the Vintage. These lines were launched at major events in several cigar shops around the United States.[3]
The Premier line is packed celloed in cedar boxes of 20 cigars, while the Classic comes celloed in boxes of 40.[3]
Premier[edit]
The first of the new lines to be introduced was released in April 2008. The wrapper is maduro Ecuadoran Sumatra leaf, the binder is Nicaraguan from Condega and the filler is Nicaraguan from Jalapá.[3]
