Every El Rey Del Mundo Choix de L´Epoque is guaranteed 100% authentic, sourced directly from Habanos S.A. with the official seal and full traceability from Vuelta Abajo to your door.
El Rey Del Mundo Choix de L’Epoque belongs to one of Cuba’s most storied marcas, a brand that took shape under Antonio Allones in 1882 and earned a reputation for elegance rather than brute force. The name translates to “the king of the world,” and for decades it stood among the most prestigious labels in Havana. This particular cigar arrived as an Edición Regional crafted for the United Kingdom in 2009, with just 2,000 numbered dress boxes of 25 produced. Its short, stocky Petit Robusto format packs the brand’s signature smoothness into a quick, satisfying format.
The opening third is soft and inviting, leaning on dry cedar and a sweet hay character with barely a whisper of pepper. Through the middle the smoke stays creamy and rounded, and a gentle honeyed sweetness begins to build, layered over light wood and a touch of toasted grain. By the final third that sweetness reaches its peak and a faint hint of spice finally appears, closing things out without ever turning sharp or heavy. From start to finish this is a measured, balanced experience that rewards patience over power.
Keep this cigar in a well seasoned humidor held around 65 to 70 percent relative humidity and roughly 18 degrees Celsius. The Choix de L’Epoque is already approachable young, yet its delicate cedar and sweet undertones tend to marry and deepen with patient rest. Because this was a limited regional release, careful storage also protects a cigar that is increasingly hard to find. Rotate your boxes occasionally and avoid wide swings in temperature or humidity to preserve the wrapper and the balance of the blend.
This is a fine choice for the smoker who values nuance and a smooth draw over heavy intensity. Newcomers will appreciate how forgiving and gentle it is, while seasoned aficionados will value its pedigree as a UK Regional Edition and the finesse that defines El Rey del Mundo. Its compact size makes it ideal for a shorter sitting, an after lunch break, or any moment when a full corona feels like too much commitment.
What size is the El Rey Del Mundo Choix de L’Epoque?
