- USA Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper – Deep, dark, and lustrous, imparting chocolate, sweetness, and rich flavor
- Nicaraguan binder and filler – High-quality leaves bring complexity with notes of leather, earth, pepper, and molasses
- Exclusive regional release – Historically only available in Tennessee, with rare nationwide opportunities and limited quantities
- Complex, evolving palate – Expect flavors of meaty leather, wood, citrus, sweet dried fruit, molasses, salt, dark caramel, earth, and black pepper
- Refined construction – Hand-rolled with reliable draw, tight burn, excellent smoke output, and praised by aficionados for its consistency
This cigar opens with a sweet and salty profile—leather, chocolate, grain, and molasses interplay with citrus and earthy undertones, while a subtle pepper and mustard note add complexity. As you progress, the flavors evolve in harmonious transitions: a burst of citrus in the early third, then grittier earth and grain, culminating in a finish marked by salted caramel and a gentle, lingering sweetness. Medium-plus in strength, it provides a bold yet approachable experience for both adventurous newcomers and seasoned smokers.
Reviewers highlight fresh Tennessee Waltz sticks for their lively, full flavor—chocolate, dried fruit, pepper, cedar, and the occasional tang of mustard or citrus. Compare to aged examples, which may lose some Broadleaf sweetness with time. Construction consistently earns high marks, with great draw, beautiful ash, and razor-straight burn, needing minimal touch-ups for the perfect experience.

Very pleasantly surprised to find these on the site as they’re becoming more rare to find! Flavor profile of dried fruit, peppery, and cedar were picked up and the construction was decent.

I was surprised how rich and robust the Tennessee Waltz cigar is. It has delightful and flavorful notes of woodiness, slight pepper, citrus and sweet dried fruit flavors. It features a dark USA Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper paired with high-quality Nicaraguan binder and filler.

Chocolate, perfect burn, pepper, full bodied. I mean if you like a dessert stick with a side of pepper this could be it. It’s just really good but has a twist of citrus in there which makes it unique enough to warrant trying it over a lot of other similar offerings.

Another winner from CH! From this I got leather, molasses and an almost salted dark caramel. I loved the flavors as they played off of each other very well. The construction was beautiful. The draw was right in that sweet spot for me. Burn was razor tight and great smoke output. I would 100% smoke this again and as always the price was the best around!

Indulging in the Crowned Heads Tennessee Waltz is akin to a dance with the finest flavors. From the first puff, its sweet and salty symphony greets the palate, accompanied by a gentle caress of leather. This cigar wastes no time, delivering a quick, assertive experience without overwhelming pepperiness. As the journey progresses into the initial third, a delightful citrus burst takes the lead, gracefully followed by a subtle grittiness reminiscent of earth and leathers. The transition into the finish unveils a surprising mustard power note, adding an intriguing depth before gracefully gliding into a saltier phase, only to harmonize with grain-like sweetness. With a medium-plus strength and body, the Tennessee Waltz exudes confidence, promising an upward trajectory of pleasure. Despite minor touch-ups needed in two samples during the first third, construction remains commendable throughout. In essence, the Crowned Heads Tennessee Waltz is a testament to balance and complexity, inviting aficionados to savor each moment like a cherished dance step, leaving a lingering impression of refined satisfaction.

I’m stoked to see these on Oxford, according to the rep in my area this is something you can normally only get in Tennessee, just like you can only get the Yellow Rose in Texas, or at their events. Neat to see them both here. The first time I tried a Tennessee Waltz it was an original release, so it had been aging for years and years. Some would say that the more age the better, but I find with some cigars thats just not the case, and Broadleaf wrapped cigars tend to go in that category for me. They lose that sweetness after a year or two. So that first one I smoked was fine, but underwhelming. Not the case with the ones I got from oxford, plenary of sweetness, full of flavor, exactly what. Was hoping they would be.
