Description

El Rey Del Mundo Cigars reign supreme. Creating a regal assortment of premium flavors. Each one joyously shouts out its profile to delight the senses. The creators of Punch and Hoyo de Monterey have created the one cigar to rule them all.

The King of the World, better known as El Rey Del Mundo is a great cigar filled with rich and spicy flavors. Exiled from Cuba, the expert tobacconists traveled to find the perfect blend for this cigar. Their journey took them from Cuba to Honduras to the Dominican Republic and on to Nicaragua. The goal was to create a glorious smoking experience.

The blend starts with a decadent Cuban seed Honduran & Nicaraguan long filler. This luscious blend comes in an imaginative variety. Featuring cigars with a Maduro, Oscuro, and Connecticut shade wrapper leaf. Light it and taste the distinct notes of cocoa, earth, black cherry, and cedar.

The blend has been awarded multiple 90+ ratings from the critics at Cigar Aficionado. With particular praise for the kick of spice in the draw.

El Rey Del Mundo Flor de Llaneza - Pyramid

Awesome Honduran

Beautifully constructed, this is the flagship of the El Rey del Mundo line. Medium to full body it produces tons of smoke. Great burn and draw for sure.

El Rey Del Mundo Robusto Glass Tubo Plus Lighter

Delicious Stick

Fantastic smoke; however, it burns unevenly; hint of spice in second half; pilling off. Never mind the issues, great smoke.

Great buy for price

Really nice cigar for the price. Smokes very well. Out of the 20 cigars in the box 6 tubes were broken, but that is a minor inconvenience for price.

I first tried an El Rey at my local Cigar lounge. I was really impressed with the quality of the smoke. I have had the opportunity to smoke a few more and I agree with the other reviews of this cigar. Outstanding stick with solid construction, burn and flavor. Always blends well with a red blend.

El Rey Del Mundo Robusto Suprema

Respectable Mid Range Churchill

El Rey Del Mundo has been a ubiquitous label in my cigar journey since I began smoking almost 20 years ago. I've had many different expressions over that time. It's the preferred cigar of a dear friend of mine, so when these Churchills popped up here for $5 a stick, I took home a box, thinking I might share a few. I'm down to my last handful and so here are my thoughts.

The wrapper is dull matt brown and construction is decent. These were always eye catching, wrapped in tissue : ) Flavor profile is mostly savory, not terribly smoky or bold. I get nuances of smoked salmon and ham, coconut husk and very soft leather. But there is also a kind of synthetic bitterness on the back end, all throughout the experience. This is my main complaint. The burn is mostly good, but I have experienced noticeable canoeing at times. Had this been a larger gauge, it might present a catastrophe, but the thinner make helps to burn hot and even things out. It remains relatively consistent in flavor up to the hilt and produces a salt and pepper flaky ash that will drop into your lap if not addressed..

In total, this feels like a 4.5/10 mid range smoke. I certainly wouldn't turn my nose up at it when offered. Personally, I would seek out bolder flavors, but that's not to say it won't satisfy the casual smoker.

Great overall smoke

I've been smoking these great cigars for 30+ years. A very tasty, pleasantly aromatic, and extremely enjoyable stogie. One of my all-time favorite cigars. One of my several humidors has included either the belicoso or the robusto grande held several at all times (usually both). A delicious chocolate and mildly earthy flavor, including a very intoxicating aroma. One of the best cigars ever blended by Frank Llaneza (Villazon & Company). The "flavor-of-the-month-boutique-brands" come and go, but this excellent master-maduro cigar is still "The King of The World"! (IMHO)

Great smoke and a great value.

As I get older, I tend to repeat myself. In this case it is on purpose. The ‘El Reys’ are my favorite everyday cigar.
