The Appointment series was made in collaboration with the Eiroa family in Honduras, known for growing exceptional tobacco in the Jamastran Valley. The cigars are rolled at STG’s HATSA factory, the same place where a number of standout blends have come out of over the last few years. It’s not the first time these two iconic brands have worked together. They’ve released winners in the past, like King of the World and Punch Golden Era. With the release of Appointment, they’ve decided to go all in to make this one shine.
At the center of the Appointment series is something you don’t see all too often; a Honduran-grown Cameroon-seed wrapper. Most Cameroon wrappers come from Africa. They’re best known for their complex and aromatic qualities that are hard to replicate. With the Honduran Cameroon-seed, it’s grown under the care of the Eiroas family, and they’ve managed to cultivate a rich, complex, and spicy wrapper that helps the Appointment standout. It’s toothy with dominant notes, and it brings a bolder spice to the party. Underneath, you’ll find a sturdy Connecticut Broadleaf binder and a mix of Nicaraguan and Honduran long-fillers.
This results in an earthy, full-flavored profile with a classic Cameroon zest layered over notes of plum and a creamy sweetness that rounds everything out. This cigar pairs incredibly well with a sweet cocktail or a bubbly soda. While this combination of complex flavors is usually found on more expensive cigars, El Rey del Mundo manages to keep the price around a wallet-friendly range while still maintaining its top-shelf touch.
The beautifully constructed vitolas ship in a box of 20 cigars and are available in three sizes, including the El Rey del Mundo Robusto 5x50, Toro 6x54, and Gordo 6.5x60.
For the newcomer who wants to explore something different or the seasoned smoker looking for any everyday option to add to your rotation, the Appointment hits the mark. It’s accessible in price, complex without being overpowering, and gives you a front-row seat to what happens when old-school craftsmanship meets modern blending.
