El Rey del Mundo Cigars — “The King of the World” — is one of Cuba’s most historic and prestigious cigar brands. Founded in 1882 by Emilio Ohmstedt, it quickly earned a reputation for excellence, with its name reflecting the brand’s ambition to reign supreme in quality and craftsmanship.
Hand-rolled in Havana using tobaccos from the famed Vuelta Abajo region, El Rey del Mundo is celebrated for its smooth, medium-bodied character, offering notes of cedar, cream, and subtle spice. Known for impeccable construction and refined balance, the brand has long been favored by aficionados seeking elegance without overpowering strength.
Though production is more limited compared to Cuba’s larger marques, El Rey del Mundo remains a symbol of tradition, artistry, and Cuban authenticity — a timeless choice for those who appreciate understated sophistication.
