History of El Rey Del Mundo Cigars
The brand of El Rey Del Mundo dates back to 1848 but was established as we know it today in 1882 when legendary producer Antonio Allones took over the brand and envisaged it as a premium line of cigars.
A name draped in prestige and heritage, El Rey Del Mundo at one point offered the most expensive cigars in the world. The brand emphasises craftsmanship to create a premium feel, with noticeably oily and dark wrappers filled with pleasant aromas.
El Rey Del Mundo was particularly popular during the 1960s and 70s when milder cigars were in fashion. While more full-bodied cigars may have overshadowed this brand, it still offers a unique and special experience that encapsulates all that a Cuban cigar represents – craft, dedication and patience.
El Rey Del Mundo Cigar Tasting Profile
El Rey Del Mundo cigars offer a rich smoking experience with subtle aromas thanks to premium long-fillers from the Vuelto Abajo region and their distinct oily wrappers. These cigars offer wonderfully complex flavours with hints of spice, caramel and leather.
These cigars are considered to be light-medium strength, making them a great choice for both aficionados seeking a fine smoking experience and also beginners for whom full-bodied cigars could come on strong. El Rey Del Mundo is also a very good choice for daytime smoking or as an aperitif.
