Crowned Heads Cigars

Brand History

Crowned Heads emerged in the early 2010s out of a desire to preserve the family-like culture of boutique cigar making following a major corporate merger. Jon Huber and his team set out to build a brand that honored tradition while simultaneously modernizing the smoking experience. They partner with renowned factories, primarily E.P. Carrillo’s Tabacalera La Alianza in the Dominican Republic and Tabacalera Pichardo in Nicaragua, to ensure every single cigar is rolled to perfection. What sets Crowned Heads apart is their commitment to small-batch production and storytelling; their blends are not just cigars but homages to pop culture legends, music, and history, ensuring that each smoking session is both flavorful and culturally significant.

The general flavor profile of Crowned Heads cigars is as diverse as the inspirations behind them, ranging from mild and creamy to incredibly full-bodied and robust. Many of their most popular blends lean towards the medium-full spectrum, delivering complex tasting notes of dark chocolate, leather, espresso, and black pepper. By working closely with Master Blenders to select the finest ligero and seco leaves, they ensure that every vitola provides a balanced and deeply satisfying smoke. Their dedication to the aging room process means that whether you select a Connecticut wrapper or a dark, oily Maduro, the consistency and depth of flavor are always guaranteed.

A fascinating fact about Crowned Heads is their deep connection to music, specifically classic rock and country. Many of their most famous lines are direct tributes to musical icons. For instance, the “Jericho Hill” blend was inspired by Johnny Cash’s song “Cocaine Blues,” and “Headley Grange” is named after the English recording studio where Led Zeppelin recorded “Black Dog.” This unique intersection of tobacco and music makes Crowned Heads a truly distinct player in the cigar industry.
