El Rey del Mundo La Reina Cigar (2013 UK Regional Edition) – Box of 24

The El Rey del Mundo La Reina Cigar measures 7 inches (192mm) in length with a 38 ring gauge, presented in SBN boxes containing 24 cigars arranged in 3 rows of 8. Each cigar features a pigtail cap characteristic of the Laguito No.1 vitola. This format originated in 1963 when Eduardo Rivera developed it for Fidel Castro, preceding its commercial release as the Cohiba Lanceros in 1982.

Production and Legacy

All La Reina cigars are rolled at Havana’s El Laguito factory, recognized for housing Cuba’s most skilled Lancero vitola technicians. This marks the first instance of a Habanos Regional Edition being entirely produced at this facility. The factory’s expertise ensures precise construction with a consistent draw and combustion.

Tobacco and Flavor Characteristics

Using Vuelta Abajo-grown tobacco, the blend progresses from initial cedar and floral notes to toasted nut and spice flavors, concluding with a creamy finish. The narrow ring gauge intensifies the flavor delivery while maintaining balance.

Packaging and Availability

Released as a UK Regional Edition, these cigars were distributed in limited quantities through authorized Habanos Specialists. The regional exclusivity and Lancero format have made this release a collector’s priority since its 2013 debut.
