As you may know I'm the self proclaimed king of looking for budget sticks that smoke like premium sticks. Let's see if this smoke passes the test. (Honduran Puro)

Cigar: El Rey Del Mundo Shade Grown Robusto cigars are one of two new blends that have been added to the famous El Rey del Mundo brand portfolio. These cigsrs are the first ever El Rey del Mundo to wear Connecticut-seed wrappers grown in Honduras. This shade grown wrapper was grown in the Talanga Valley under cheese cloth tents, which filters the sun’s rays, resulting in a thinner leaf that’s lighter in both color and body. Underneath this gorgeous golden-brown wrapper is the finest Honduran tobaccos: a Jamastran Honduran binder, and aged filler tobaccos from the fertile Jamastran and Copan growing regions. A brand well known for its bold, fuller bodied Cuban style blends, El Rey del Mundo Shade Grown Robusto is the company’s tamest and smoothest blend to date. This is a mellow cigar, offering lush, creamy textured notes of cedar, leather, cashews, sweet spice, and cocoa.
