Crowned Heads TAA Exclusive 2024 6 1/4 * 50, Box of 20

The Crowned Heads TAA Exclusive 2024 is the tenth cigar the company has made for the Tobacconists' Association of America (TAA). Unlike past releases with names like "The Angel’s Anvil" and "The Lost Angel," this one keeps it simple. It’s made at Casa Carrillo in the Dominican Republic and comes in a 6¼ x 50 size. The cigar uses an Ecuadorian HVA wrapper, an Ecuadorian binder, and fillers from Nicaragua and Pennsylvania broadleaf. Only 500 boxes of 20 cigars were made, making it a limited and special release.

Cigar Origin
Dominican Republic
Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
The Dominican Republic is the world's first producer of cigars. Most factories are located in Santiago, in the center of the island, and in close proximity to the tobacco fields grown in the fertile Cibao Valley. While tobacco and cigars have always traditionally been produced in the Dominican Republic, many Cuban cigar makers established in the Dominican Republic after the Cuban communist revolution, elevating the quality of Dominican cigars.
