Presentation and Packaging
The Vikingos comes dressed with El Rey del Mundo's standard band B, accompanied by the distinctive Regional Edition secondary band marked "Báltico" — denoting its exclusive allocation to Baltic region distributors. This dual-band presentation has become a hallmark of the Regional Edition program, instantly identifying these cigars as special releases.
Each box is a numbered slide-lid cabinet containing 25 cigars. The total production run was remarkably limited, with only 408 boxes manufactured worldwide. This scarcity, combined with the unique Gordito vitola, has made the Vikingos a notable entry in the El Rey del Mundo portfolio and a prized find for enthusiasts of regional exclusives.
