Detailed Description
Le Pâtissier embodies the artistry of fine tobacco blending, much like a master baker crafting exquisite pastries. The USA Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper immediately announces itself with its dark, lustrous appearance and subtle oily sheen, promising the rich experience that follows. This American-grown leaf brings distinctive chocolate and earth characteristics that have made Connecticut Broadleaf a favorite among connoisseurs seeking depth without harshness.
The foundation of this remarkable blend combines Nicaraguan and Costa Rican long-filler tobaccos, each contributing unique regional characteristics. Nicaragua provides the backbone with its natural spice and leather notes, while Costa Rica adds smoothness and subtle sweetness that rounds out the profile. The Nicaraguan binder expertly marries these elements, ensuring structural integrity while contributing additional flavor complexity that enhances the overall smoking journey.
Smokers consistently praise Le Pâtissier for its dominant cocoa and dark chocolate notes, complemented by warming baking spices that justify its culinary-inspired name. Cedar undertones provide classic tobacco character, while hints of nutmeg and Mexican-spiced chocolate add intrigue. Black pepper appears judiciously throughout, never overwhelming but providing enough contrast to keep the palate engaged. The construction quality delivers consistently smooth performance with an impressively even burn that requires minimal attention.
Available in multiple vitolas including the popular Senadores format, Le Pâtissier adapts to different smoking preferences while maintaining its signature flavor profile. Whether enjoying a shorter format for a quick indulgence or settling in with a larger ring gauge for extended contemplation, each size delivers the same commitment to quality and flavor that defines this distinguished blend.

While I generally love CH cigars, I’m always wary about trying a new cigar from any manufacturer. I don’t have the palate of some. For me cigars are ‘good’ or ‘bad’. There is some leeway in between those but that is what I have.
So I approached this with expectations (because of my good history with CH) and I was NOT disappointed. This cigar came across as very smooth, I don’t get any “bite” from it. It’s construction was great and the entire smoking experience was enjoyable.

Really love this blend. Like the new vitolas. Get straight baking spice, earth, cedar. The original was awesome and glad to see they are offering this in regular production vitolas. Always have a great experience with Crowned Heads cigars. Glad to grab more!

First of Le Pâtissier which mean the “Baker” in French. As this is an U.S. grown Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper I thought it was going to be great. Nope. It ended up being just so-so. I did enjoy the medium smoke with notes of cocoa. It had undertone of earthy finish and black pepper.

These new sizes are fantastic. The original packed more of a punch, but these seem to be a wee bit more balanced. Plenty of cocoa and nutmeg notes. Burns superbly.
