El Rey Del Mundo Cigars

If you know Spanish, you know that El Rey Del Mundo translates as “The king of the world.” This is a bold claim but you really will feel like a king when smoking these high-quality cigars. Hailing from Honduras, they are medium to full-bodied and feature excellent construction, a nice level of complexity, and an excellent burn.

Two brands use the name El Rey Del Mundo, one owned by the Villazon family of Honduras and the other produced on Cuba for the Cuban state-owned tobacco company Habanos SA. Since Cuban cigars are off-limits to Americans, we are focusing on the Honduran variety. However, we can say that the original brand was once considered the most prestigious and expensive on the planet.

Honduras yields one of the best-selling and finest cigars in terms of this brand. Ecuadorian Sumatra wrappers are used to contain long Havana seed filler tobacco that features a superb taste. These Havana-style cigars come in various shapes, sizes, and packages, resulting in something for everyone. Smokers are often surprised at the low price for such a great cigar.

Sizes range from the 4.5-inch, 35 ring Café Au Lait to the massive 8.5-inch, 52 ring Coronation. Elegantes must have been named after their ring size, a very delicate 29 gauge. Robustos are just that, with 54 rings and lengths ranging from the five-inch regular Robusto to the 7.25-inch Robusto Suprema. Flor Del Mundo is another impressive choice, featuring a length of 7.25 inches and a 54 ring.

You will find these top sellers in singles or a box of 20, 35, or 40 depending on size. One cigar runs about $5 to $7 and a box of 20 costs anywhere from $50 to $90 based on the size selected. Several varieties feature a choice of natural or Maduro wrapper. The price is the same so why not try both for a double treat?
