This amazing Lancero contains a special blend consisting of an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper, Nicaraguan binder and filler from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. Not to mention, being made under the supervision of cigar industry icon, Ernesto Perez-Carrillo.
Cigar Aficionado claims this 7 1/2 x 38 Lancero possesses bold flavor notes of licorice, charcoal, nuts and leather coming through before a spicy finish.
Halfwheel touts this special cigars very good overall construction and wonderful balance with a 90 rating. To say this is a complex tasting cigar is an understatement with their take. “There is quite a bit going on in the lancero vitola, including main flavors of popcorn, cedar and cocoa nibs and almonds that show up at various points, not to mention a sadly fleeting mint note in the second third and a persistent and distinct maple syrup sweetness on the retrohale.”
Match this to senior reviewer KATMAN‘s stellar score of 95 and there’s no doubt this Crowned Heads entry for 2022 is a winner!

Diesel Fool’s Errand Stubborn Fool is a collaboration between Justin Andrews of Scandinavian Tobacco Group and AJ Fernandez and the first edition of the Fools Errand trilogy line.
The construction of the old school Perfecto containing an exquisitely dark and oily Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper encasing a blend of Nicaraguan Habano filler and binder leaves from AJ’s farm is second to none.
The result is a robust and flavorful medium to full bodied cigar with flavor notes of cocoa powder, cedar wood, spices and bits of ground pepper. The draw from Stubborn Fool is perfect and the aromatic smoke is a joy to behold. Natural tobacco taste encompasses this blend from start to finish.
Noted reviewer KATMAN rates this Fool’s Errand edition an awesome score of 94. But BEWARE…When this limited edition cigar is gone….it’s gone. Get some while they’re still around!

Light notes of wood and black tea become heavier with caramel, cocoa and a warm toasty finish.” To be sure, this is the Montecristo you have to try!

Cigar Aficionado describes this dark gem aptly. “ Heavily oaky at first, this massive maduro takes on an earthy quality with touches of cinnamon and clove that leave a licorice finish. It smokes well, and has cherry notes and hints of toast and sweet wood.” Stogies Guys say it’s a surprisingly well-balanced smoke with a good equilibrium. The Cigar Inspector claims it is both satisfying and complex. What we can say about this hefty smoke is that it’s been and continues to be extremely popular.

The filler consists of Estelí-grown habano and Jalapa-grown habano ligero from Nicaragua along with selected tobacco leaves from Paraguay. The beautifully applied triple cap tops it off perfectly. To say this medium to full bodied cigar is complex would be an understatement.
Noted reviewer KATMAN rates it a respectable 91. He describes it as a flavor bomb. Think caramel, graham cracker, coffee, chocolate, raspberry and cedar for starters. Stogie Press ups the score to 94 with a perfect description. “The flavors in this cigar were just scrumptious from pre-light to nub. There was no harshness, bitterness, or sour tastes and I would say the flavors were balanced and well transitioning.” Without a doubt, the rarely produced Lancero size is the top pick!

You’re probably wondering why a machine made, short filler, domestic cigar would be so popular with Premium Smokers. Every now and again, a product comes along that serves its purpose and completes its mission. When J.C. Newman created Trader Jacks Classic “Kickin” bagged and jarred editions many years ago, it took awhile to get noticed. As they found their way into humidors across the country, curiosity got the better of many folks that opened the containers and took a sniff. And that was that! The intoxicating aroma these sticks gave off led to a try which then led to buying the whole container. Without getting too involved, Trader Jacks by JC Newman is mellow to slightly medium bodied. They’re all infused resulting in a smooth, sweet, rum like flavor that’s thoroughly enjoyable any time of the day. They keep fresh in their containers and have a totally guilt free price offering any smoker a great diversion.
WRAPPER: Ecuador Havana Seed
FILLER: Dominican and Nicaraguan

Don’t get me wrong. This is a terrific medium to full bodied bodied smoke with a great draw that produces a huge volume of aromatic smoke that maintains consistency to the finish. Each box contains two different styles. Half is box pressed and other half is traditional round cigars. The issue I have is the entry price. Hopefully, we can offer these in five packs down the line, but the problem with that is how would they be split up size wise. Of course you can add a star or two if you’re a fan.

While I’ve never even tried to smoke an 8×80 (Yikes!) sized cigar, the popularity of this edition doesn’t surprise me. This medium bodied Nicaraguan puro owes much of its complex and enjoyable taste to the twin wrappers. The Maduro and Claro coats encasing a tamer blend have made this stick a favorite. It’s also nice to have more conventional sizes available as well.
