A new addition to the El Rey del Mundo lineup is arriving at retailers, and it’s made by a well-known name in Honduran cigarsβJRE Tobacco Co. Scandinavian Tobacco Group (STG), the brand owner of El Rey del Mundo, has once again collaborated with JRE Tobacco Co. to create a limited-edition cigar called “King of the World.” This new release, with its regal theme, began shipping earlier this week and offers cigar enthusiasts a unique take on a classic brand.
The Blend: 100% Honduran Tobacco
The King of the World cigar features a blend made entirely from Honduran tobacco, all grown by the renowned Eiroa family on their farms in the fertile Jamastran Valley. This region is known for producing rich, flavorful tobaccos, and the Eiroa family has been a key player in Honduran tobacco cultivation for generations.
What sets this cigar apart from previous El Rey del Mundo releases is its composition:
- Wrapper: Habano-seed
- Binder: Corojo
- Filler: Habano-seed
This marks the first time the El Rey del Mundo brand has featured a cigar with both Habano-seed wrapper and Habano-seed filler, creating a distinctive flavor profile that sets it apart from its predecessors. According to the company, this blend is medium-bodied, offering a balanced smoking experience suitable for a wide range of cigar aficionados.
Size, Price, and Availability
The King of the World cigar comes in a single size, a Toro that measures 6 inches in length with a 50-ring gauge. It is priced at a suggested retail of $9.99 per cigar, making it a premium yet accessible option for those looking to try something new from the El Rey del Mundo line. The production is limited to just 2,000 boxes, with each box containing 16 cigars, ensuring that this release is both exclusive and highly sought after.
The Eiroa Family and JRE Tobacco Co.
The decision to partner with JRE Tobacco Co. continues a successful collaboration between STG and the Eiroa family, who are among the most respected names in the world of Honduran cigars. The Fabrica de Puros Aladino S.A. factory, owned by the Eiroas, is where the King of the World cigars are produced, ensuring that each cigar is crafted with the utmost attention to quality and detail.
This is not the first time STG has worked with JRE Tobacco Co. Last year, the two companies teamed up to produce the Punch Golden Era line, which also consisted entirely of Honduran tobaccos grown by the Eiroa family. Typically, El Rey del Mundo cigars are made at STGβs HATSA factory, also in Honduras, but the collaboration with JRE brings a fresh perspective and expertise to the brand.
A Regal Addition to the El Rey del Mundo Legacy
The name El Rey del Mundo translates to “King of the World,” and this new release is a fitting homage to the brandβs lofty reputation in the cigar industry. The King of the World cigar not only pays tribute to the brandβs name but also elevates the El Rey del Mundo portfolio with its unique Honduran blend and premium construction.
For cigar enthusiasts, this limited-edition release offers a chance to experience a new chapter in the storied history of El Rey del Mundo. With its exclusive production, rich Honduran flavors, and collaboration with one of the industryβs most respected tobacco families, the El Rey del Mundo King of the World cigar is a must-try for anyone looking to add something special to their collection. Be sure to pick up a box before they sell out, as this regal blend is sure to be a crown jewel among this yearβs cigar releases.
