History and Status
The El Rey del Mundo Panetelas Largas was first released prior to 1960, making it one of the older established vitolas in the Cuban cigar canon. The cigar remained in production for several decades as part of the brand's regular offerings before being discontinued during the 1990s.
Today, this vitola is no longer in production, though it remains of interest to collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate the classic slender panetela format that was once far more popular than it is in contemporary times.
