El Rey del Mundo Très Petit Coronas
The Très Petit Coronas represents a brief but notable chapter in the El Rey del Mundo portfolio. Introduced to the market in 1995, this compact cigar served as a regular production offering before being discontinued just four years later in 1999. Though its time on shelves was relatively short, the cigar remains a point of interest for collectors and enthusiasts of vintage Cuban tobacco.

Format and Presentation
True to its name, the Très Petit Coronas offered smokers a condensed smoking experience. With a ring gauge of 42 and a length of 110 millimeters (approximately 4⅜ inches), this vitola fell into the petit corona category—ideal for those seeking a shorter session without sacrificing the complexity expected from the El Rey del Mundo marque.
The cigar was presented in classic dress boxes containing 25 units, each adorned with the brand's standard band A designation. As a fully handmade product, the Très Petit Coronas carried the craftsmanship traditions associated with Cuban cigar production during the 1990s era.
Historical Context
The mid-1990s marked a dynamic period for Cuban cigar production, and El Rey del Mundo—long respected for its elegant, medium-bodied offerings—expanded its lineup to include this accessible petit format. The Minutos factory name under which it was produced speaks to the standardized naming conventions used within Cuban cigar factories.
After only four years of availability, the Très Petit Coronas was removed from regular production in 1999. Its discontinuation makes any remaining boxes particularly sought after by collectors seeking to experience a piece of El Rey del Mundo's history from that distinctive decade.
