Dive into the Crowned Heads Las Calaveras 2024 Sampler - a box of 4 Nicaraguan puros from My Father's factory, blending medium-strength power with Day of the Dead artistry. This assorted vitola collection features that signature oily Habano wrapper we've craved since 2014, now honoring departed loved ones through commemorative bands. Each cigar burns 60-90 minutes with military-grade construction - just don't expect any second chances at grabbing these limited-production stogies.
The punchy opener slaps your palate with black pepper sprinkles over 70% dark chocolate. Nicaraguan earthiness cuts through like espresso grounds, while cedar woodspice creeps up the nostrils. Smoke output stays moderate - no chimney effects here.
At the 1-inch mark, molasses sweetness emerges to balance the assault. Toasted almond skins and dried fig fragments appear between pepper waves. Watch for occasional tar buildup near the cap during slower puffs.
The last third brings leather-bound library nostalgia with cocoa powder resolutions. A vanilla bean whisper lingers post-exhale, though nicotine walls might have lightweights tapping out early. Those who soldier on get rewarded with licorice twist subtleties.
Jet-black wrappers glisten with visible tooth - the good kind that promises flavor bombs. Triple caps unpeel cleanly, though some 2024 editions show slightly tighter rolls in the foot. Burn lines stay razor-sharp for 85% of the journey before minor canoeing appears in final inches.
Veterans appreciate how these walk the line between complexity and approachability. Newbies be warned - that Nicaraguan twang demands respect. Pair with aged rum to amplify the sweetness or espresso to match its boldness. Rest 3-6 months for peak performance.
