A fine example of the smallest format made by hand in Cuba. Tiny but tasty.
In 1882 the Antonio Allones factory, which had been making Havanas for over 30 years, decided to launch a new brand of premium quality and price. With great confidence but little modesty it was named ‘El Rey del Mundo’ – The King of the World. It proved a winner.
This success lives on to this day in a selected range of Havanas renowned for its light to medium flavour and consistency.
All sizes contain a blend of filler and binder tobacco from the Vuelta Abajo zone and are made by the ‘tripa larga, totalmente a mano’ – long filler, totally handmade technique.
