Crowned Heads is no stranger to the concept of regional releases, and the endearingly-named Crowned Heads Tennessee Waltz perhaps makes the most sense, considering the acclaimed boutique brand calls it home. Meant to honor, and only be sold through, the state of Tennessee, the Tennessee Waltz is made by the Garcia family at the My Father Cigars factory in Esteli, Nicaragua, and features a dark and oily USA Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper on top of premium Nicaraguan binder and filler that creates a bold explosion of flavor containing meaty, complex notes of leather, citrus, and wheat. Although Crowned Heads allows one day a year for retailers nationwide to purchase this regional release, it remains extremely limited, and should be enjoyed as such.
Cigar Origin
Nicaragua
Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
Despite many decades of war and revolution in this Central American country, the cigar industry has thrived due to the hard work and tenacity of Cuban exiles to the land such as Plasencia, Padron, Oliva, Ortez, and others. Tobacco has been a force of social stability, and the country is now one of the principal exporters of premium cigars in the world.
Strength
