First Impressions

Immaculate presentation with a rich, silky Mexican San Andres wrapper and perfect firmness from foot to cap. Pre-light aroma delivers sweet cedar, cocoa, and warm spices. Cold draw is flawless — ideal resistance with immediate flavor clarity.

Smoking Experience

First Third – Effortless balance right from the light. Sweet cedar and cream glide together. Burn is razor sharp.
Second Third – Complexity builds naturally. Baking spices and cocoa layer in without disrupting harmony. Smoke is dense, cool, and controlled.
Final Third – Maintains structure and elegance all the way down. No bitterness, no heat, no corrections — just a long, refined finish.

Pairings

Alcohol – Armagnac Darroze Les Grands Assemblages 30 Year
Deep dried fruit, polished oak, and gentle rancio elevate the cigar’s sweetness and reinforce its luxurious texture.
Tea – Taiwan Sun Moon Lake Ruby Red No. 18
Naturally sweet, minty, and full-bodied — mirrors the cigar’s polish and enhances its creamy core.

Music Pairing

“Golden” – Jill Scott
Warm, confident, and uplifting — perfectly aligned with a flawless smoke.

Crowned Heads Belgian Blue LE 2024 is a benchmark cigar. Perfect construction, seamless flavor evolution, and total harmony from start to finish. This is what a limited edition should aspire to be.

Final Score: 10/10
Why not a 10?
Nothing to correct.

Only cigars that deliver flawless draw, balance, flavour evolution, construction and satisfaction get a 10 — and this one does.
