Big and bold flavors reminiscent of the early crowned heads releases. Plenty of spice and a bit toothy. Burn issues made some difficult to smoke but the flavor is outstanding.

If you’ve enjoyed past Crowned Heads releases like the Buckeye Land and Tennessee Waltz, this release will be right up your alley. Dark and bold, this cigar starts off strong and stays that way through the middle. It mellows out with the pepper subsiding and charred meat tones come through. Great after dinner smoke.

Spicier than expected. Minor touch ups needed. Will be aging the second one I picked up to see if it mellows out a bit

Big time flavor, a little overly spicy for me. I think a year of age and this will be five stars all day long.
