I began savoring these truly great medium to ultra full bodied cigars in 1994 soon after opening my first cigar store and have been recommending them to smokers for almost 30 years. Many folks don’t know that the El Rey Del Mundo brand is still being produced in Cuba. For what it’s worth, I really feel that the Honduran/Nicaraguan blends available on our site stand side by side with the Cubans. Seasoned smokers and adventurers newcomers have been thoroughly enjoying these fairly priced jewels for decades.
