Diesel Whiskey Row Sherry Cask is another unique collaboration with AJ Fernandez, Diesel and the Rabbit Hole Bourbon distillery.
The blending process begins with acquiring barrels that contained Pedro Ximénez 30-Year-Old Sherry to cure the vintage Brazilian arapiraca leaf binder. The fillers are all Nicaraguan habano encased with a dark and oily Connecticut broadleaf wrapper. The results speak for themselves.
Cigar Dojo rates it at 90 and says it’s a unique, well balanced cigar with remarkable flavors and is a great expression of creative technique. Noted reviewer KATMAN rates it a 93. He describes it perfectly. “Complex? Very much so. Subtle and surprising at the same time.”
To say this is a pleasant diversion from your everyday smoke is an understatement!

M. X. S. Tiago Splitter is one of two special athlete themed cigars from Crowned Heads distribution partner ACE Prime.
This complex, four country M.X.S. blend is the brain child of Master Blender Luciano Meirelles. The result is exactly what you would expect…..a great mild to medium bodied smoke.
Cigar Coop rated it a very respectable 90 with a perfect summary. ” The Tiago Splitter delivered an excellent experience from a Sumatra-wrapped cigar. The cigar delivered excellent flavor and had a nice amount of complexity to it.” Think flavor notes of Citrus, Earth, Caramel, Baker’s Spice, and Black Pepper. You can match this with amazing natural tobacco taste and heaps of aromatic smoke via a great draw.
Needless to say, these guys sell quickly so……get ’em when we have ’em!

Pichardo Clasico consists of two blends of Ace Prime which is a strategic distribution partner with Crowned Heads Cigars.
The Sumatra possesses filler tobaccos from three different regions of Nicaragua and a Nicaraguan Habano binder. Encasing these leaves is an Ecuador Sumatra wrapper. The Maduro contains vintage Nicaraguan fillers and binder together with a Brazilian Arapiraca wrapper.
With the medium bodied Sumatra, think flavor notes of earth, dark roast coffee, and a touch of pepper. On the Maduro side you have a medium plus body with an array of tastes including coffee beans, chocolate mocha, dried fruit, hard woods and a touch of spice. Either one you choose gives you a great way to sample a masterpiece from true artisans.
