Hey everyone, it’s Bobby here from Nub Worthy Cigars, diving into a late-night review of the El Rey del Mundo Demi Tasse. This short smoke has a name that translates to “King of the World,” which is fitting as I explore if its flavors truly reign supreme. The cigar sports a beautiful presentation, featuring intricate embossing on the golden medallions, complete with elegant imagery.
It’s a short and sweet cigar, perfect for a quick break or morning coffee.

Cigar Rundown
Small King Cigar Showcasing
In my late-night review, I chat about the El Rey del Mundo Demi Tasse, a sweet little cigar that packs a punch despite its size. The name means “King of the World,” and it truly lives up to the royal hype with its delightful packaging. The box features golden medallions with a detailed design, making it look as good as it tastes.
This short smoke is perfect for enjoying with a morning coffee or on lunch breaks since it only takes about half an hour to savor.
Illusione Cigars versus El Rey del Mundo
Let’s talk cigars and compare the El Rey del Mundo with the Illusione cigars. The Demi Tasse may be small but it’s rich in flavor, like a good cup of cocoa with strong vanilla and some spice. On the other hand, the Illusione cigars, particularly the 888 Maduro Churchill, are known for being top-notch as well, made by some of the best out there.
They offer a deeper smoking experience that might take more time to enjoy. Both have their unique charm and quality, but if you’re short on time, the El Rey del Mundo is a great choice.
The Look of Cigars
Packaging and Decorative Features
When it comes to cigar boxes, nothing beats the craftsmanship seen in El Rey del Mundo. Each box comes with a Chevron inside, a common thing in Cuban cigars. The gold medallions and jewelry embossed on the packaging are really eye-catching.
I find that these decorations add a touch of elegance and enhance the overall experience of enjoying a fine cigar.
Thinking About Cigar Dimensions
The El Rey del Mundo is a small-sized cigar, perfect for a quick smoke break or a morning coffee session. It’s shorter than a typical Churchill, which is known for its larger size.
For me, this cigar is ideal when you want something satisfying yet doesn’t require a long commitment, like a whole hour. You can enjoy this one in just half an hour, making it a great choice for a quick, flavorful experience without the need for extra time.
Flavor Journey
Before Lighting Up
I had the El Rey del Mundo in my hand, admiring its golden designs and artwork. The size of this short cigar makes it perfect for a quick break, like with my morning coffee. Cutting it just right, I was ready to explore its flavor profile.
I noticed a strong tobacco aroma mixed with vanilla and a hint of baking spices.
Initial Thoughts After It’s Lit
Using a Bic lighter isn’t everyone’s choice, but it worked just fine. Right from the start, the flavors were mild with a touch of greenery through the nose. There was also a whisper of vanilla in the background.
It was a gentle start, promising more to come.
Flavors in the Middle
As I reached the halfway point, the cigar reached its stride. I accidentally let the ash drop a couple of times, but that didn’t overshadow the taste. The cocoa was rich, with vanilla being the star. The spices gave a little kick through the nose too.
It transformed into a solid medium-bodied smoke with mild strength, maintaining a pleasant, rich profile.
Noteworthy Recognition
Cuban Crafting
There’s something remarkable about Cuban cigars that makes them stand out. The method they use, known as “entubar,” is pretty old-school and requires a lot of skill. This process ensures that the cigars are rolled just right, with all the veins and stems removed.
Each cigar comes with a triple cap at the top, a little touch of tradition and craftsmanship that I really admire.
When you light one of these cigars, you start to appreciate the quality. The smoke is smooth and rich, a testament to the careful hand-rolling techniques.
It’s these details that make Cuban cigars so special and enjoyable to smoke. In my experience, the flavors just keep getting better as the cigar ages. It’s all about that classic Cuban quality.

Conclusion
The Final Tastes and Experience
As I puffed away on this small cigar into the night, the flavors turned out to be quite a surprise. The initial smoke was light, with a hint of vanilla and a mild vegetal tone through the nose.
As I got further into it, the flavor deepened into rich cocoa, with strong vanilla and a dash of baking spice. At this point, the cigar moved into a medium-bodied territory, while still maintaining a mild strength. I also noticed it got a bit spicier through the nose.
Despite a couple of bumps that caused the ash to fall off, the overall experience was still very enjoyable.
