The Crowned Heads Ozgener Bosphorus B54 delivers a Turkish-Nicaraguan fusion packed into a 6.5"x54 parejo format. Priced around $12.83 per stick in 20-count boxes, this medium-full strength smoke features an oily Ecuador Sumatra wrapper hiding Nicaraguan Jalapa fillers. Expect 90 minutes of evolving flavors from this box-pressed beauty rolled at Tabacalera Pichardo.
The cold draw introduces sweet cedar and cashew notes. Upon lighting, black pepper spice hits the palate before mellowing into roasted almond tones. Medium smoke output with tight white ash formation.
Turkish tobacco characteristics emerge - damp earth and crushed oregano blend with milk chocolate undertones. Retrohale reveals cinnamon stick aromas and subtle floral hints.
Nicaraguan Jalapa leaf dominates the finish, bringing leathery depth and espresso bitterness. Slight tar buildup requires purging past the 60-minute mark. Final puffs offer baking spice warmth without harshness.
Blend combines Izmir-grown Turkish leaf (12% of filler) with Estelí Nicaraguan tobaccos. Rolled in Pichardo's Gran Estelí facility using vintage 2017 wrappers. Box codes show 11-month aging pre-shipment.
