This Regional Edition features the standard El Rey del Mundo Band B, accompanied by a dedicated Regional Edition band identifying it as an Asia Pacific release—marked as "Asia Pacifico." The dual-band presentation distinguishes it as part of the prestigious Regional Edition program.
Release Details
Introduced in 2012, this cigar holds particular significance as a tribute to two decades of the Pacific Cigar Company Limited's operations in the region. The Geniales vitola represented a new special release size for this occasion, offering smokers a unique format not commonly found in the standard El Rey del Mundo lineup.
Collector's Note
An interesting production quirk adds to this cigar's story: a portion of the release erroneously left the factory with "Exclusivo Canada" bands instead of the correct Asia Pacifico bands. This manufacturing error has made those particular cigars especially sought after by collectors who appreciate such rare anomalies in Cuban cigar production.
