The Belgian Blue name honors the muscular Belgian cattle breed known for its double-muscling, a metaphor for the cigar’s bold profile and visual impact. The blend stands apart by focusing on flavor complexity first, achieved by using 75% ligero leaves with high texture and thickness. This approach yields a profile that is simultaneously strong and smooth, maintaining excellent combustion and drawing characteristics.

Construction is flawless, with box-pressed edges offering a distinctive feel and consistent burn. The blend is rich and multi-dimensional: Nicaraguan and Dominican tobaccos provide depth and spice, the Ecuadorian binder introduces subtle floral undertones, and the dark Mexican San Andres wrapper lays on chocolate, espresso, and earthy sweetness. Crowned Heads limited releases like this have earned a reputation for precision and sophisticated blending, solidifying their status among connoisseurs. Belgian Blue is crafted at the acclaimed D’Hatuey factory, which produces other Crowned Heads lines such as Mil Días and Blood Medicine. The 2025 run ships in November, presented in elegant 12-count boxes.
