El Rey del Mundo Choix Supreme - Review

El Rey del Mundo - Choix Supreme
------------------------------------------
Length: 5" (127mm)
Ring Gauge: 48
Appearance: Slightly veiny, light brown wrapper.
Cut: Punch

Impression:
The draw is perfect. Lovely and free. Ever so slight spice & pepper. Mild to medium.
Beautiful plumes of smoke. Light creamy coffee notes, along with toasted caramel.
First thoughts are: this is a lovely cigar. Very enjoyable.



Further in, the toasted caramel is still there. A nice creamy smoke.
I am still impressed and halfway through.



Nearing the end now and the experience has remained consistent, which is a good thing.
Only when the burn line reaches the band am I noticing the experience starting to diminish.

One touch up required, as the burn line was pretty wavy.
But overall a very, very good cigar!

I am partial to my BHK 52s, and this was like a mellower version.
Clearly a light to medium smoke. Creamy and enjoyable!
My overall smoking time was approx 45-50 mins.

I would LOVE to stock up on these, but so far acquiring the box dates has proved difficult.

Does anyone who has experience of these have any recommednations as to which date smoke the best?
Are these good young, or aged? etc? Any info appreciated.

Regards.

In my opinion, these smoke much better with a few years on 'em - 3 or more. Less than than taht, they tend to be average to below average.

But that's just my opinion, based on my experiences with this puro. No doubt others (e.g., ) will have a different opinion.

Perro, el Perro

Haha! Gotta' agree with you there, el P. Sometimes can be quite the contrarian.

Yes TJ, I'd say at least 5yrs. I have two cab of 50 08/05 & 09/05, both are smoking just fine now thanks. Nice review, glad to see your spreading your tastes a little more Simon. There are plenty of great Havanas out there to discover that don't start with Coh... And cheaper too!

Here you go Simon, lookout for these they aren't box pressed.

Note: you can't spell analytical without Anal!!

Beautiful Simon

I just look up the price of the SLB and they've been discontinued

[Simon Bolivar]

Knew they had been deleted, didn't know my suppliers had run out already. Guess I won't be giving any away then. I think there is a difference between very box pressed & nicely cylindrical cigars & that's why I brought these & other cabs. Maybe you'll get to try one Jezza, if your a good boy.
