Detailed Description
The experience begins with pronounced earth, spice, and leather before expanding into waves of roasted coffee, cocoa, and cedar. The Ecuador Habano Oscuro wrapper intensifies both aroma and texture, while the complex Nicaraguan fillers weave together sweet cherry, pepper, caramel, and subtle floral undertones. Construction is consistently praised in reviews—with draws that produce thick smoke and a razor-sharp burn, making every puff a joy. As you smoke, flavor transitions “erupt” and evolve, mirroring the creative energy that inspired the blend.
Each box and band design nods to Eddie Van Halen’s signature guitar, making the CHC Serie E as visually striking as it is flavorful. Whether you’re enjoying the Hermoso No.2 for a long session or the Petit Edmundo for a quick hit of energy, this series offers a balanced yet exhilarating boutique experience that captures the spirit of both fine cigars and musical brilliance.

Really liked this. To be honest Crowned Heads is becoming one of my favorite brands to smoke. Pretty much everything that I’ve tried from them has been good. This one performed well. Really got good earthy flavors with coffee and leather. Construction was great. Loved the draw and smoke output was good. Paired well with a great bourbon. Another great stick from Oxford. I wouldn’t hesitate to pick up more.

I’ll be honest, I wanted these since I am a huge VH fan, and to for Crowned Heads to produce a cigar to remember Eddie is awesome. I did not know the bands also had the famous guitar art as well….Thanks Crowned Heads! The cigar is not too bad either, the two I’ve had have been well constructed, burned even and fairly typical maduro flavors.
