The Crowned Heads Mil Dias Corona Gorda arrives in 20-count boxes priced at $179.28, sporting a classic 6"x46 parejo shape. Named after the 1,000 days spent perfecting its blend, this Nicaraguan puro combines Ecuadorian Habano wrapper with multi-origin filler tobaccos for medium-full smokers. The corona gorda format delivers 90-minute sessions packed with evolving flavors from first light to nub.
The oily Ecuadorian wrapper shows minimal veins with tight triple-seam construction. Cold draw reveals earth and molasses through perfect resistance.
Initial pepper spray settles into roasted coffee beans and baking chocolate. Voluminous smoke carries cashew sweetness through nostrils. Burn line stays razor-sharp despite 65% humidity.
Leather and cedar emerge alongside fading spice. Retrohale develops caramelized banana notes at 1" ash mark. Body shifts decisively toward full territory without harshness.
Mineral-rich earth dominates as Peruvian tobacco takes charge. Occasional tar buildup requires purging. Last inch introduces unexpected black cherry before heat forces conclusion.
Box-pressed cigars require deeper V-cuts for optimal airflow. Five samples showed consistent 1.5" ash retention. Store at 65% RH to maintain smooth combustion - higher humidity exacerbates occasional canoeing.
