El Rey del Mundo (Cuba) Tainos

Have smoked several from a box from 01 and these are great. Perfect draws, small amount of spice with some cedar mixed in. Wonderful ERDM aroma. Will be looking for more of these.

I just received a box dated 3/07. Unlit smelled like straight tobacco and not floral. Well rolled and hefty. Colorado wrapper. Taste was very one dimensional and tasted like coffee. Had to relite many times and burned crooked. I think that this cigar was way too new and needs some time in the humidor. I will retry in 6-8 months at least.

A very tasty smoke! Fairly plain tawny brown wrapper with hardly any veins. Solid construction without any soft spots. Easy light. Good draw. Even burn without the need for relights or corrections. Gray white ash. This gifted stick from 7/01 started immediately with woody notes. In the first third, the wood gave way to a medley of flavors, including vanilla, mild cedar, nuts, toffee, and walnuts. In the middle third, the cedar note remained and intensified, and was joined by mild cream and toasted tobacco. The final third brought a slight menthol whisper and nuts. All in all, this medium-bodied, complex, one hour 20 minute smoke was very enjoyable. Paired well with rum, but would also go well with coffee.

Recieved as a gift and boy am I greatful. Slightly tight draw on an otherwise great cigar. Excellent burn and construction. Very complex and smooth as silk. Cedar notes with just the right amount of spice, damn fine smoke that went perfect with the black roasted beans I was drinking.

What a great smoke, I was gifted one with a bit of age, and found it to be flavor filled with cedar and gentle spice, with a perfect draw and burn...better on the draw than most long habanos I've smoked. Definitelybe on the lookout for more of these!

Hard to find but worth the search. I was introduced to these by a Cuban friend. Beautiful oily wrapper and a firm white ash. Balanced and complex with a rich smoke with a undertone of dark expresso beans and a hint of cedar.

Nice looking hefty cigar, feels quite firm to the touch. Cut it and test draw indicated the draw might be trouble. Yup, I felt like I was sucking golf balls through straws almost the entire time. Little smoke obviously, but the taste was great and it never went out - never needed purging. Draw problems marred an otherwise fine cigar.

When it comes to churchill size cigars this is Cuba's best kept secret. An extremely underrated cigar very smooth with complex flavors a definate must in a humidor. A fantastic smoke that can be smoked down to a nub!

Very underrated, not well known. I would rate it next to my favorite R&J Churchill.
Dark very oily and silky wrapper you want to caress with your fingers. Strong full bodied smoke with unique and complex flavors.

ERDM GC, a "Corona Gorda" vitola, 5 5/8x 46 (no listing for this). Beautiful dark colorado maduro capa with nice box press. A grand medium-bodied, rich and flavorful smoke with an easy draw. The only ERDM that not light-strength.
