I have a vague recollection of smoking an El Rey del Mundo 15 or more years ago and enjoying it. Turns out I still do. It was a very good bargain-priced cigar with a medium-to-full body and more complexity than a lot of cigars in this price range. It’s good to see them hitting a wide distribution channel. If you like General’s Punch Maduros, you may very well enjoy these as they share some profile notes…not surprising since I believe they’re made in the same factory. Definitely worth a 5-pack to have for those times when a less expensive cigar is in order, but you still want something with plenty of flavor. Score: 9/10

This blend was perfect for my palate. A flavor explosion from the first light with chocolate and leather. Pepper shone through from the first puff until the last and became even stronger when retrohaling. Notes of cinnamon, oak, and an odd floral end gave just enough a transition to keep things interesting. If you enjoy a full-bodied pepper bomb as I do, you are going to love this cigar.  Score: 92%

Final Thoughts: Great after-dinner smoke, with lots of spice, some cinnamon and a mild amount of dark chocolate and caramel. Rating: 4.1/5
