The old El Rey del Mundo factory was established in its present location some time after the 1930s. It produced the El Rey del Mundo brand and the (now discontinued) machine-made Status de Luxe, Troya, and Gispert brands.
In 2005 the El Rey del Mundo brand was transferred to the Romeo y Julieta factory and the factory was converted to produce the Special Replica Antique Humidor Series.
Since 2010, with the closure of cigar production at the Partagás factory, it now also produces Partagás, Bolivar, Ramon Allones, and La Gloria Cubana brands.
