A Brief Cigar Review - Cuban El Rey Del Mundo Choix Supreme

The Choix Supreme looks like a typical Cuban cigar, the wrapper is soft and somewhat-veined.  I purchased 4 different boxes of cuban cigars to be split with 4 other cigar buddies.  We do this on occasion to get a Cuban sampler pack, 5 of each "brand".  The El Rey Del Mundo was part of the last box split. 

Wrapper:  Cuba
Binder:  Cuba
Filler:  Cuba
Size:  5 x 48  (robusto)
MSRP: $8  

After cutting with a punch style cutter, the draw needed to be opened up a little bit with a poking tool.  This surprised me a little since the cigar feels so light, but that's a Cuban cigar for you.  There is almost no pre-light scent to the cigar.

 The first few puffs give a nice cloudy creamy smoke, with a very chewy, thick texture. 

The main flavors I find are the typical anise note of properly aged Cuban tobacco.  There is also sweet black tea, and a little pepper and cream on the finish.  El Rey Del Mundo is a very smooth and mild cigar.  It is a perfect cigar for beginners, or a morning and early day smoke for seasoned aficionados.   

Choix Supreme burns more quickly that most Cuban cigars.   I would say that it is because of a lightly packed roll, but the tight draw would have be believe otherwise.  However, I have no bias between fast and slow burning cigars.  The Choix Supreme is a Cuban cigar I always enjoy, I do not remember having a bad one.  The price is right, the cigar is pleasant, however not very complex.  I rate the El Rey Del Mundo Choix Supreme a 8.5 out of 10.
