The Crowned Heads Le Pâtissier delivered some interesting flavor combinations in the first third, leaning towards the espresso and earth spectrum. The second and last thirds were still pleasant but lacked the dynamic nature of the first third. Most of the time Crowned Heads is a hit for me, so I feel like I'd revisit the Le Pâtissier again in the future to see if some age helped that second third harmonize better.
The Crowned Heads CHC Serie E 5150 delivered a spicy and flavorful medium-full bodied experience through the review. The most interesting combinations came through in the first and second thirds, with the last third pleasant, but lacking the same complexity. I would smoke this again, especially to see if the flavor improved assuming no burn issues.
The Crowned Heads The Lost Angel TAA 2021 did a good job of balancing out Mexican San Andres and Brazilian Mata Fina, while having them be the focus of the blend and delivering their positive qualities. The cigar had a nice balance between sweet and spicy, and the earth presence was perfect as well. With that, you can’t go wrong with a matte black band. It just looks awesome.
As the celebration of its 50th Anniversary continues, JR Cigar is partnering with the iconic manufacturer Crowned Heads to bring a special limited release project to both companies’ loyal customers. Mother Church is a cigar crafted to celebrate the golden anniversary of JR Cigar and to pay homage to Crowned Heads’ roots in Nashville, Tennessee.
The Crowned Heads Mil Días Corona Gorda was not like any other Crowned Heads I've smoked in the past. It brought a unique combination of graham cracker and herbal notes, all well balanced under the medium strength mark. This isn't a cigar I would reach for all the time, but given the interesting and unique combination of flavors, I would smoke this when I was looking for a change of pace.
Crowned Heads is proud to announce the first limited edition release under the highly sought after Mil Días brand, i.e., Mil Días Mareva EL XX (2020). The cigar utilizes the original Mil Días blend, and is being crafted in the traditional Cuban Mareva vitola (5 1/8" x 42). Production will be limited to a total of 1,000 {30-count) cabinet style boxes.
Mil Días translates to ‘one-thousand days,’ and is a reference to the three-year window of time it required to bring the project from intention to fruition, and ultimately, to completion. The project began in the Summer of 2017 when Don Eradio Pichardo and Luciano Meirelles presented blend samples to Jon Huber of Crowned Heads at the IPCPR Trade Show.

The Crowned Heads La Coalición Gordito started well, and if the profile from the first third had maintained itself throughout, we'd be talking about a really good cigar. As it sits, it's still a fairly good offering although the price is a bit high. I would smoke this again, but it's not something that's high on my list to revisit.
The Lost Angel 2020 is an exclusive release for TAA that is limited to 1,000 (20-count) boxes. The 6” x 52 Cigar is comprised of 100% Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos, and is finished with an Ecuadorian (Sumatra) wrapper.
