El Rey del Mundo Grand Marshall Arrives in the Balkans
The El Rey del Mundo Grand Marshall, a new Edición Regional, has arrived in the Balkans region of Europe, which is made up of Bulgaria, Serbia and Romania.
It is a robusto extra vitola that measures 5 1/2 inches (140mm) long with a 52 ring gauge, a size known as the Genios and which is shared with the Cohiba Genios, part of the brand’s Maduro line. In Bulgaria, pricing is set at BGN 45 ($22.53) per cigar, with Kaliman Caribe, the distributor in the area, noting that pricing is different in each country but approximately €24 ($23.50) on average.
The release is limited to 6,000 individually numbered boxes of 10 cigars, a total production of 60,000 cigars.
The cigar is distributed by Kaliman Caribe, which distributed Habanos S.A. products in 12 countries: Bulgaria, Albania, Armenia, North Macedonia, Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Slovenia, Romania and Georgia. This is the fifth Edición Regional release for the distributor, and the second to come out this year, joining the La Gloria Cubana Via Balcanica, an Edición Regional release for Bulgaria.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
