The La Reina represents a distinguished addition to the Regional Edition series, crafted exclusively for the British market under the esteemed El Rey del Mundo brand. This 2018 release showcases the brand's commitment to producing elegant, refined cigars that honor both tradition and the specific tastes of the UK market.

Packaging and Presentation
Each La Reina cigar carries the standard El Rey del Mundo band (Band B), accompanied by the distinctive Regional Edition secondary band denoting Great Britain (Gran Bretaña). This dual-band presentation immediately identifies the cigar as a British exclusive.
The cigars are housed in numbered semi boîte nature boxes containing 24 pieces. Total production was limited to just 3,500 boxes, making this a genuinely limited release for collectors and enthusiasts.
Release Timeline
Though designated as a 2018 release, La Reina reached retailers in mid-2019. This timing is typical of Regional Editions, which often carry an official release year but arrive at market the following calendar year due to production and shipping schedules.
Brand Context
El Rey del Mundo, translating to "King of the World," has long been associated with sophisticated, medium-bodied cigars. The La Reina—fittingly named "The Queen"—continues this legacy while offering British aficionados an exclusive expression of the brand's elegant character.
