Crowned Heads is a Nashville cigar company that has its roots in CAO cigars.  The founders used to work for CAO and when they sold out to Swedish Match they wanted to keep control and thus started their own company.  This is their first offering. 

Appearance: First of all, I love their sizes.  They stuck with traditional sizes and are for the time being sticking to it.  This has a very plain but simply stated red and gold band.  The wrapper is flawless with a little oil on it.  It is about the color of milk chocolate.    10/10

Construction:  These cigars are made at the EPC cigar factory so you know they are well made.  Firm, but not too firm and no patches to comment on.           9/10

Burn:   Perfect.  10/10

Aroma:  There is kind of a dirt smell with some hay.  It reminds me of springtime after a rain and is very pleasant.       10/10

Draw: Out of this world good.  I wish all cigars were this easy to draw.     10/10

Flavor:  There is some leather and just the hint of spice on the retrohale.  More grass and dirt, almost earthy notes.      10/10

Availability: Right now, this is a regional company but hopefully as they grow, so will their market.   7/10

Personal Overall Experience: I truly wish every cigar was this pleasant so enjoy.  From the look, feel and smell when I first cracked that box, I knew I would enjoy this.  I cannot wait until these are available in St. Louis.  In the next few weeks they will be releasing their second cigar the Hedley Grange and I hope I enjoy it as much.      30/30

Total: 96/100
