Forged Cigar Company has added a 7 x 48 Churchill size to its El Rey del Mundo Shade line. The new size is slated to ship to retailers beginning February 3, 2025.
This new size becomes the third regular production size to join the El Rey del Mundo Shade lineup. El Rey del Mundo Shade Grown is highlighted by a Connecticut Shade wrapper grown in the Talanga Valley of Honduras.
