    Review: El Rey del Mundo Choix Supreme

    21/02/2010

    The El Rey del Mundo Choix Supreme is a hand-made Cuban cigar in the Hermoso No. 4 format, with its distinctive light coloured wrapper. I personally prefer using a quality guillotine cigar cutter. This particular cigar was constructed well and lit very easily whilst maintaining a consistent, slow burn, throughout the smoke. I only needed to take a puff every minute to keep it going, and it had no signs of extinguishing; a perfectly symmetrical head of ash formed at the end – sometimes as long as about an inch.

    In comparison to the Montecristo Tubos, Por Lorrenaga Petit Corona, and the Davidoff 2000 in particular, I found this smoke to be very mild yet due to the slow burning nature of the cigar, it lasted a good 45 minutes. Notes of honey, creamy tones, and a floral taste were evident with a lack of spice. The flavour was maintained throughout till around the final 1/3rd.

    The nicotine high was barely noticeable and I would highly rate once of these for a casual smoke. This particular cigar was enjoyed with several rounds of Glenfiddich 15-year Solera Reserve on the rocks.
