About the El Rey Del Mundo Petit Coronas
El Rey del Mundo, whose name translates to “King of the World,” traces its roots to 1848 and was later registered under its modern identity by Antonio Allones in the early 1880s. From the outset the marque was built on a reputation for refinement rather than power, drawing on choice leaf from the Vuelta Abajo region. Today the brand is produced in Cuba for Habanos S.A., and the Petit Coronas carries that legacy in a compact, friendly Marevas format measuring 130mm (5.1″) by a 42 ring gauge. It is a discreet Habano that prizes flavor and balance over intensity.
Flavor profile by thirds
The first third opens softly with cedar and a light toasted note, the kind of gentle introduction that has long defined this brand. Through the middle the smoke gathers a little more body, layering roasted coffee and a dry, earthy character with a faint sweetness underneath. As you reach the final third, leather and a touch of mild spice emerge while the cedar lingers, closing the cigar on a smooth and even note. Combustion and draw stay reliable throughout, which makes the experience effortless from light to finish.
Pairings
- A lightly aged Cuban rum, whose cane sweetness echoes the cigar’s soft underlying sugars.
- A cup of medium-roast black coffee that mirrors the toasted, roasted notes in the smoke.
- A glass of dry amontillado sherry for a nutty, slightly saline contrast.
Aging and storage
The Petit Coronas responds well to patient cellaring, with time tending to round off any youthful dryness and bring out deeper roasted aromas. Keep your cigars in a seasoned humidor held around 65 to 70 percent relative humidity and a temperature near 18 degrees Celsius. Because this is a slender, milder Habano, even a few months of rest can smooth the profile noticeably, while longer aging rewards those willing to wait.
Who it is for
This is an ideal cigar for someone who wants a genuine Cuban experience without a heavy hit of nicotine. Newcomers appreciate its mellow, forgiving character and quick smoking time of around forty-five minutes, while experienced smokers reach for it as a relaxed morning or midday companion. If your taste runs toward subtlety, cedar, and gentle roasted sweetness rather than full-bodied strength, the Petit Coronas fits comfortably.

Decent corona but not my favorite from Cuban Cigar. The El Rey Del Mundo Petit Coronas has good flavor – cedar and spice – but didn’t wow me like other Cubans I’ve had. Construction was fine, burn was mostly even. It’s good, just not exceptional. Worth trying though.
