Crowned Heads has announced it’s annual Hawaii exclusive, Paniolo Especiale2019. As with previous releases it is made at La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate in Esteli Nicaragua. The cigar is a robusto that measures 5 1/2 x 48. The blend uses a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper, Mexican San Andres Binder, and Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers.
Jon Huber says in a press release, “We’re extremely excited for this years’ Paniolo Especiale as it will mark the first time we’ve utilized a Connecticut (Broadleaf) wrapper on this annual Hawaii-Exclusive release since the inaugural edition back in 2015. Insofar as the Paniolo marca is concerned, I feel as though the 2015 OR has held up as the ‘grail’ blend, and both R. Field Wine and Crowned Heads really wanted to bring the Broadleaf back. While the blend is entirely different than the 2015, I sincerely feel that smokers will find that this year’s edition stacks up very nicely against the 2015. This is truly an exceptional smoke.”
The Crowned HeadsPaniolo Especiale2019 comes in 12-count packs and has an MSRP of $9.80 per cigar. There will only be 5,000 cigars made. It will make it’s debut February 8, 2019 6:00pm-9:30pm at an exclusive dinner hosted by R. Field Wine at the Price Waikiki Hotel.
