Crowned Heads is a 5 - star boutique cigar brand with a diverse lineup. Many of its cigars are made at Ernesto Perez - Carrillo Jr.’s Tabacalera La Alianza S.A. in the Dominican Republic. For instance, the Court Reserve XVIII is from the Dominican Republic, with a robusto size (5” x 50) and full strength. It has a Mexican San Andrés wrapper, Ecuador binder, and Nicaraguan filler. It’s nicely built, with an ebony - colored wrapper. The draw is open, and pre - light it has nutmeg and hazelnut flavors. Once lit, it offers a mix of earth, black pepper, nutmeg, and more. The burn is even, and the ash is firm.
The La Coalicion is made in Nicaragua at La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate. It has a Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper, Sumatra binder, and filler from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. Before lighting, it has a fruit and salted - cracker flavor. After lighting, it starts with butter, light spices, and then rounds out with nuts, black pepper, and wood. It intensifies as it burns, and by the middle, it's a medium - plus performance with citrus notes on the retrohale.
If you're an experienced smoker, the Court Reserve XVIII would be great as an after - dinner smoke paired with a fine single malt, Port, or espresso. The La Coalicion can be paired with a full meal. Explore more at https://www.famous-smoke.com/brandgroup/crowned-heads-cigars.
