El Rey del Mundo

Believed to have been created, along with Sancho Panza, by German businessman Emilio Ohmstedt in 1848, El Rey del Mundo (King of the World in Spanish) was at one time the most expensive and prestigious cigar brand in the world.

Spanish businessman Antonio Allones took over the brand sometime around 1882 (a rival version of the brand’s history claims the brand became defunct after Ohmstedt’s death and Allones re-registered it, but cigar connoisseur Min Ron Nee maintains the cigar brand was passed to Allones from Ohmstedt’s company, based on records stating Allones as the owner of El Rey del Mundo from as early as 1873).

Under Allones, the brand reached the height of its world-wide prestige. In 1905, Allones’ company was bought by the Díaz Hermanos y Cía venture, owned by Cándido Vega Díaz (supposedly the namesake of Don Candido cigars), which was later renamed the Rey del Mundo Cigar Co. to reflect its most famous asset.
