Crowned Heads release a new core line at the 2024 PCA Trade Show called Coroneta.  Coroneta is a derived from from the word coronet which is a small crown for lower royal ranks below monarchs from the 16th century.  Each size of the Coroneta is named after the British heraldry that would wear the coronet, Earl, Baron, and Duke.  Coroneta is a line which features both an Ecuadorian Habano and a San Andreas Maduro wrappers each using a unique blend.  Something else unique about this new line is that each version is made at a different factory.  The San Andreas version is being made at Casa Carrillo in the Dominican Republic by EP Carrillo.  The Habano is made at Nicaraguan American Cigars, S.A. (NACSA) in Esteli, Nicaragua. Vitola:  Robusto Size:  5 x 52 Wrapper: San Andres Mexican Binder: Ecuadorian Connecticut Filler: Nicaraguan Country of Origin: Dominican Republic Factory: Casa Carrillo MSRP: $12.95 Final Score: 89

Welcome back to another episode. Today we preview the upcoming 2nd leg vs Real Esteli and the key pieces to a Club America victory.

Late in 2023, Rocky Patel Cigars released their most extravagant cigar to date, Conviction, which was announced at the 2023 PCA trade show. The Conviction is a two country tobacco blend featuring tobaccos from Mexico and Nicaragua. The Nicaraguan tobacco is from the Rocky Patel farms in Condega and Esteli. The Conviction features a double binder and a special Mexican San Andres wrapper leaf that was ferminated in a special fermentation process called Terciario that is used in Cuba. Terciario process is where a bundle of tobacco is wrapped in the leaves of the Royal Palm tree which is a slower fermentation process that could take years to complete. Rocky Patel selected the 4 best rollers in their factory and put them in pairs to specifically roll the the Conviction and limited them to only 250 cigars a day. The Conviction only comes in one size, a toro. The Conviction come in a 10 count box and is limited to 5000 boxes. The MSRP is $100.00…..no, that wasn't a typo.

Foundation Cigars came into the PCA 2022 cigar trade show with a bang. They released a new cigar line called the Olmec in both a claro and maduro wrapper. The Olmec is named after an ancient Mesoamerican civilization that predates the Aztec and Mayans in what is now Mexico. They inhabited the areas of Veracruz, Tabasco, and San Andres where the Mexican San Andres tobacco is cultivated. Foundation used a San Andres Negro wrapper that was slowly fermented at a low temperature to help preserve the natural oils in the tobacco.  The Nicaraguan tobacco fillers were bale aged for three years before reaching the factory. The Olmec was released in 5 sizes:  double corona, grande, toro, robusto, and corona gorda. Today I'm reviewing the corona gorda.

Imagine “hearing” colors, “feeling” sounds and “tasting” shapes. That's what synesthetes like Luciano Meirelles, president and CEO of Luciano Cigars, experience. Learn how Luciano's synesthesia has helped him identify nuances of different tobaccos, categorize them and blend them to create some of cigar smokers' favorite premium cigars, including Luciano The Dreamer, Pichardo Clásico and The Sergeant. Host of Box Press, Rob Gagner and Luciano smoke the Fiat Lux Intuition in this interview at Boveda headquarters west of Minneapolis. According to Scientific America, synesthesia is an anomalous blending of the senses in which the stimulation of one modality simultaneously produces sensation in a different modality. In other words, synesthetes experience something through a sense that manifests itself as something entirely different e.g. a taste = some shape. For Luciano, he has an eidetic memory (Sheldon Cooper, anyone?) of tobacco flavors that help him pinpoint which tobacco will blend well together.

At the end of 2020, CAO re-released the Vision with a few tweaks.  The original cigar, released before CAO's acquisition by the Scandinavian Tobacco Group, was a Dominican blend cigar in an interesting box that was fitted with LED lighting that glowed blue when you opened the lid.  The new CAO Vision is also a different blend using a Cameroon wrapper, Ecuadorian Sumatra binder, and Nicaraguan fillers from Jalapa and Esteli.  It is also only available in one size, churchill, versus the 3 sizes of the original blend.

Episode 17? Yes, following multiple suggestions from listeners, we will be renumbering our episodes to distinguish between Heads Up Poker and In it to Win it. Everything seems to be expensive back in the US after you get used to a $3 check when ordering two coffees, two smoothies and a cinnamon bun in Esteli. Maybe this can make up for the money spent on water witchers that turned out to be less than reliable!

We are cracking the Yellowstone Bourbon tonight to sip on and talk about along with a newer release from AJ Fernandez, Días de Gloria.

I don't often put a lot of stock into the cigar reviews by companies who get paid by the companies they're supposedly reviewing, but today, I thought, "what the heck" and grabbed one of Cigar Aficionado's top cigars of 2018.Today I'm smoking the Black Market Esteli Toro by Alec Bradley. Let's see if it's worth its weight in tobacco!Smoke This Cigar - https://famous-smoke.7eer.net/6QL1KRocky Patel A-10 Review: Initial Thoughts:I don't put a lot of stock in the cigar reviews of companies that get too much of their revenue from the same companies whose products they're reviewing. That said, when I saw the Alec Bradley Black Market Esteli Toro at my local lounge, I thought to myself, "Hey, why not!?"After taking off the labels for this cigar, one of the first things I noticed was how good the Black Market Esteli smelled. Even before lighting it, the Alec Bradley Black Market Esteli Toro had an amazing, rich, delicious aroma. From the first puff, I could taste the wonderful Nicaraguan tobacco, and I can already tell I'm going to enjoy this cigar a lot.Brand: Alec BradleyLine: Black Market, EsteliSize: 6 x 52Cut: GuillotineLight: TorchPrice: $10Smoked On: June 2, 2019Learn About This Cigar - https://famous-smoke.7eer.net/6QL1KFinal Thoughts:Even though the temperature dropped about twenty degrees and some serious rain threatened to drown me out, I didn't want to stop smoking the Alec Bradley Black Market Esteli. I really enjoyed this cigar. The burn was good, the flavors were good, and I could tell the cigar was really well made.However, in the second half, some of the nice, sweet flavors gave way to some bitterness that I did not enjoy. Had the flavors remained 100% delicious through the entire cigar, the Black Market would have gotten a CigarScore of 5, but they didn't. Since I was ultimately let down by the deterioration of the amazing flavor-bombs, the Alec Bradley Black Market Esteli earns a (high) CigarScore of 4, and I would absolutely smoke it again.:::::Find & Rate Where to Smoke Cigarsat https://www.cigarscore.com:::::Where I buy my cigars: https://click.cigarscore.com/famoussmokePremium Cigar Samplers: https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-premiumsamplers:::::Subscribe to my YouTube Channel! - https://click.cigarscore.com/subscribeonyoutube::::: Gear I Used or Mentioned in This Video :::::Main camera: https://www.ellorywells.com/yt-canon80dMain lens: https://www.ellorywells.com/yt-canon18125mmMusic: https://www.cigarscore.com/musicLapel mic: https://www.ellorywells.com/yt-movolv1Sturdy tripod: https://www.ellorywells.com/yt-tripodTravel camera: https://www.ellorywells.com/yt-canong7xiiHandheld tripod: https://www.ellorywells.com/yt-manfrotto:::::SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cigarscoreTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/cigarscoreInstagram: https://Instagram.com/cigarscore:::::AFFILIATE DISCLAIMER: Hey, so, some of the links in my videos and descriptions are affiliate links.
