Connoisseur's Corner: A Classic El Rey Del Mundo Scores a 98
(Cigar Aficionado) This was a lovely selection of cigars ranging in age from 14 to 54 years old. Four rated 95 points or higher, classic on our 100-point scale. The best was an El Rey del Mundo Coronas de Luxe from 1983, a relatively diminutive Cuban smoke (it’s less than 6 inches long, and but a 42 ring gauge) that combines creaminess with sweet spices.
