El Rey Del Mundo
Demi Tass Box Of 25 Cigar
EL REY DEL MUNDO
The Cuban cigar brand of El Rey Del Mundo was believed to be first created in 1848 by German businessman Emilio Ohmstedt who also created Sanch Panza cigars. After Ohmstedt’s death the Cuban cigar company was passed on to Antonio Allones sometime around 1882. El Rey Del Mundo (or ‘King of the World’ in Spanish) was at one time the most expensive and prestigious cigar brand in the world - Under Allones’ command it reached the height of its prestige.
Allones’ company was later bought out by the Diaz Hermanos y Cia venture owned by Candido Vega Diaz who then later renamed themselves the Rey Del Mundo Cigar Co. To highlight their most famous asset, although other brands such as Sancho Panza, Rafael González, and Don Cándido were also produced by them.
The success lives on to this day in a selected range of Habanos renowned for its light to medium flavour and consistency.
All sizes contain a blend of filler and binder tobacco from the Vuelta Abajo zone and are made by the ‘tripa larga, totalmente a mano’ – long filler, totally handmade technique.
DEMI TASSE
A fine example of the smallest format made by hand in Cuba - Tiny but tasty!

The Demi Tasse is a mild cigar but full of substance. It certainly gets better with age, so stash a few of these a way and in 10 years time they'll be a perfect smoke.
87 / 100
"A charming little cigar with subtle box-pressing and a three-seam cap. The smoke is flinty and earthy with graham cracker notes and a mineral finish...."
