El Rey del Mundo Shade Grown Churchill Cigars
Many newer cigar enthusiasts may not realize it, but El Rey del Mundo once stood among the giants of the premium cigar world. A dominant name during the Cigar Boom era, it eventually faded into the background as newer brands emerged to claim the spotlight. Yet, this Honduran icon remains very much alive, recently reinvigorating its portfolio with the release of the El Rey del Mundo Shade Grown Churchill.
Crafted in Honduras, this release is a milestone for the brand, showcasing its first-ever Connecticut-seed wrapper. Grown under shade in the Talanga Valley, this rare wrapper is paired with a Honduran Jamastran binder and fillers from Jamastran and Copan, making it a true Honduran puro. This is no small feat, as Honduras isn’t typically recognized as a prime region for Connecticut-seed wrapper cultivation.
The cigars are presented in classic cedar chests, with each vitola adorned by the brand’s signature gold-on-gold band, complemented by a secondary “Shade Grown” band that highlights this unique variant. Engineered for excellence, the Shade Grown Churchill boasts a smooth draw and impressive construction, holding a long, firm ash. The flavor profile begins with bold cedar notes and transitions into a rich, creamy combination of cinnamon, cocoa, and brown sugar, underscored by a grassy hint that ties the flavors together with a subtle earthy depth.
Mild to medium-bodied, this cigar is both approachable and refined, appealing to a wide range of palates. Measuring 7” x 48, the Churchill size offers a perfectly balanced smoking experience, delivering its distinctive flavors in a format that’s both satisfying and accessible. A blend of quality and value, the Shade Grown Robusto is a welcome addition to any humidor.
Ideal for beginners, loved by connoisseurs, El Rey del Mundo Shade Grown is an extremely versatile cigar. Mellow, mild, and delightfully flavorful, this stick pairs well with white wine, bourbon, or even a simple cup of coffee. Fans of milder Connecticut cigars such as Perdomo Champagne or Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real will likely enjoy the calm and easy-going nature of this particular offering. El Rey del Mundo, as a brand, may not be as popular as it once was, but with cigars like El Rey del Mundo Shade Grown Churchill, we are reminded that sometimes the classics can surprise us, even in today’s unbelievably competitive cigar industry.
