Question
do you remember a brand of cigars from the late 70's called "Castro Rey" it was in a silver box and individually tubed in silver. Do you have a photo of this product?

Answer
Cuesta Rey made by Arturo Fuente.
Not made any more as far as I know.
Remember that cigars change as the crops change,cigars change as the companies grow or alter the blends to meet changing tastes of the public.
So a Cuesta Rey today might be totally different from years a go and especially from decades ago.

I will continue to look and ask the Fuente sales man about the product, if I hear more I will update the answer.
