In the category of affordable premium cigars, El Rey del Mundo is one cigar that we get requests from quite often. The brand name has been around since the late 1800s, and it is made for the US market in Honduras by the Villazon factory that also makes Punch and Hoyo. The cigar is medium to full bodied with an Ecuador Sumatra wrapper, Honduran binder, and fillers from Dominican Republic, Honduras and Nicaragua.
Cigar Origin
Honduras
Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
Honduras, a Central American country which shares a border with Nicaragua, is widely known in the premium cigar industry as the ideal place to grow Cuban and Connecticut seed tobaccos. Danli and the Jamastran Valley is considered the heart of Honduras’ cigar industry. The Jamastran Valley is known for producing a full-bodied tobacco that draws strong comparisons to the tobacco grown in the Pinar del Rio region of Cuba. This same region is also known for its Connecticut shade grown and Corojo shade grown tobacco. In addition, Honduras produces Cuban-seed sun grown filler tobaccos of the highest quality.
Strength
Wrapper Color
Maduro
Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Maduro wrapper can go from dark coffee brown with a reddish tint to blackish brown (the latter also called Oscuro).
Wrapper
USA Connecticut Broadleaf
The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Connecticut Broadleaf is grown in the United States' Connecticut Valley and is prized for its dark, oily, full flavored and aromatic characteristics. The plants are grown in full sun giving this cigar wrapper its characteristic sweetness. The Connecticut Broadleaf plant leaves are mainly processed as maduro tobacco. Today, Connecticut Broadleaf seeds are being grown in other countries besides the United States.
Binder
Honduras
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar and bind the filler tobaccos together. Honduran tobacco is known for being full-bodied. Cigars produced in Honduras are regarded for their consistency and quality. Using Honduran tobacco as a binder will add to the cigar’s overall strength and flavor profile.
Filler
Honduras
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
Rolled by
Handmade
Handmade cigars are completely made by hand from start to finish.
