El Rey del Mundo Choix Supreme are a great smoke and the quality continues from the first to the last in the box.I have not had one of these in some years, however the one I was given to see the new year in was magnificent and unusual to find these days as many cigars only have hints of what they once were. From the first light they start off quite mellow but continue to evolve throughout to a nice rich flavourful finish; they burn well and collect and hold their ash extremely well. A very nice and enjoyable smoke. El Rey del Mundo Choix Supreme featured right

Factory HistoryIn 1897, the brand was bought by the Association Rodríguez- Argüelles & Co.; three years later, in 1903, the Association dissolved and the Cuban enterprise Romeo y Julieta Cigar Factory was created.
The owner José Fernández Rodríguez, a Spanish emigrant in Cuba, increased the productivity of his employees through a system of incentives, which permitted to increase the cigars’ production and their quality. He also introduced bands or personalized vitolas to some of his most selected clients.
There were printed more than 20 000 different vitolas. He also used publicity tricks as to name his own racing horse after the name of the brand, and took it to the most important races in Europe.
On the other hand, he also opened a shop in the hotel Capulet in Verona, the city where Shakespeare’s the drama, Romeo and Juliet, took place. Under the command of Fernández, the factory moved to O’Reilly Street where it is at present.
Romeo and Juliet brand offers vitolas from medium to strong strength, with good combustion and brown color of the wrapper. 'Romeo and Juliet'There is no cigar with such a romantic name.
