Description
Crowned Heads Jericho Hill ranks as the 4th entry from this great company way back in 2014. To begin with, Nashville based Crowned Heads is headed up by four former CAO executives. After leaving CAO in 2010 they began producing unique cigars known for their Cuban-inspired packaging and blending. Today, the company remains committed to producing cigars of exceptional quality, flavor, and balance.
With attention to detail, Jericho Hill comes to us from My Fathers cigar and the mind of Jon Huber. It’s no surprise Cigar Dojo rates this one at 90. They have only good things to say. “Medium to full bodied, full flavor & wonderful construction make this cigar an absolute dream to smoke. Take your time & enjoy every last puff & savor the flavor.” Add this to what the critical folks at Halfwheel say, “It never leaves me unsatisfied; more importantly, it leaves me wanting to fire up another one.”
But there’s more! Cigar Authority bestows a score of 92 with the best summary that still stands today. “I am a huge fan of a box pressed cigars, and this one is a fine specimen with an exquisite draw, solid burn line and ultra thin carbon line.” Cigar Aficionado rates it a 90 as well with a perfect layout of what you can expect.”Dark in appearance and flatly pressed, this cigar starts out herbal and woody, but develops heartier notes of toast, nuts and spice that lead to a licorice finish.”
If you’ve waited to try this great smoke, now’s your chance!
To sum up, Crowned Heads Jericho Hill comes in 5 popular sizes of 24 count boxes.

John R. “Johnny” Cash is widely considered to be one of the most influential American musicians of the 20th century. His legacy continues to inspire many, including Crowned Heads. Jericho Hill was inspired by Cash’s rendition of “Cocaine Blues,” found on Cash’s 1968 live album, “At Folsom Prison.” The song is a tale of a man, Willy Lee, who goes down a dark path brought on by the influence of whiskey and cocaine. Willy is captured in Juarez, Mexico, and is brought to justice by the sheriff from Jericho Hill.
Cash was the fourth of seven children, and Jericho Hill marks the fourth regular production release from Crowned Heads. The four vitola names were all inspired by lyrics and music found on “At Folsom Prison,” and when recited from smallest to largest (.44S, LBV, OBS, and Willy Lee), take on a lyrical element of their own.
The smoke is a full-throttle experience that assaults your palate at break-neck speed, races around your mouth for a hundred miles, and leaves your taste buds in a cloud of power, intensity, and excitement.
