Costa Rica Getting New Edición Regional This Month with El Rey del Mundo Tico

A new Edición Regional is coming to Costa Rica this month in celebration of the 15th anniversary of the distributor Cruz Canela & Trust G.B.

It’s the El Rey del Mundo Tico, a robusto extra that measures 5 9/10 (150mm) x 54 and is known as the Geniales vitola in Cuban cigar parlance. It’s a popular size for special releases, but is also used for the regular production Montecristo Open Eagle and Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo de San Juan.

Pricing is set at $980 per box of 15 cigars, which works out to $65.33 per cigar. While the boxes for the cigars look very familiar, they get packaged in an attractive desktop humidor developed by HumidifGroup, making it a box within a box. Production is limited to 6,000 individually numbered boxes.

They will go on sale exclusively in Costa Rica on Sept. 28, with a launch party scheduled for Nov. 13 at TEK Cruz Canela in San José.

Additionally, 15 special “Master Piece” humidors will be released, each containing two boxes of cigars. Details and images of those humidors have not yet been released yet.

This is the third Edición Regional for Costa Rica, joining the Ramón Allones Nuevo Mundo that was released in 2017, and the Saint Luis Rey Pura Vida, released in 2020. The Nuevo Mundo was also a Geniales vitola, and while the Pura Vida was about an inch shorter, they both had a 54 ring gauge, meaning all three Edición Regional releases have the same thickness.
