Crowned Heads Create Your Own Sampler
When Jon Huber and Mike Conder left CAO in 2011 to establish Crowned Heads, they set out to create cigars of artisanal quality with exceptional flavor, balance, and consistency.

Each cigar represents the meticulous attention to detail that has made Crowned Heads a boutique powerhouse in just over a decade.
Jon Huber’s vision for Crowned Heads began during his tenure at CAO, where the tight-knit team operated like a fraternity. That same spirit of camaraderie and passion infuses every blend they produce. From the music-inspired Jericho Hill series paying homage to Johnny Cash’s “Cocaine Blues” to the original Four Kicks that launched the brand in 2011, each line tells a story through tobacco.
The sampler format allows you to experience the evolution of Crowned Heads’ blending philosophy. You might start with their inaugural Four Kicks, move through the Nicaraguan-forward Jericho Hill produced at My Father, and explore their latest limited editions. Each factory partnership brings distinct characteristics: Casa Carrillo’s Dominican refinement, My Father’s Nicaraguan intensity, and the unique profiles achieved through their various collaborative efforts.
