CROWNED HEADS JUAREZ
Crowned Heads has jumped factories a 4th time now, with the announcement of their Thompson Cigar Co. exclusive, the Jaurez. The new factory is Tabacalera Pichardo in sunny Esteli, Nicaragua. The new blend is: Mexican San Andres top-leaf over-top Ecuadorian Sumatra binder & Dominican/Nicaraguan fillers. This in three formats: a Petite Robusto, Toro, & portly 556 Robusto.
The new blend & its nom de tobacco are spin-offs of the CH Jericho Hill offering. However, I am unclear how -- as I am not as enamored by Johnny Cash as you gentiles seem to be. I'm a Leonard Cohen kinda guy. L'chaim! Look for the cigar later this month.
Tabacalera Pichardo was previously Dhatuey Tobaccos.
NOMAD NUTCRACKER
It ain't just Ligero -- it's Media Tiempo Ligero -- & the Nutcracker is said to be "loaded" with it. Sounds like a real ballbuster, this Nutcracker lol The thing comes in a single box-pressed Short Toro vitola and features a "vintage" Criollo wrapper & guts courtesy of Ligeros via Esteli & Ometepe.
375 of these purported "Full-body. Full-strength." offerings have been micro-produced & fuck if I don't hate what's become of Nomad since being acquired by Ezra Zion. I mean does a small boutique company really need a more-boutique wing? I'll field that 'un: nope.
