Crowned Heads has announced the eighth version of their annual TAA ESP (Exclusive Series Product) line, ‘The Lost Angel-TM Exclusive 2022.’ This year, like last year serves as a prequel of sorts to The Angels Anvil TAA of years prior. The Angels Anvil Exclusive was produced from 2014 to 2019
The Lost Angel is a darker side of the original story’s protagonist. The original story parallels Crowned Heads co-founder, Jon Huber’s, career in the cigar industry. The underlying moral of the story is one of rising from the ashes, and is a reminder that the smallest of seeds needs to first be submerged in dirt, covered in darkness, and it is only then that the seed will struggle to reach the light.
For the second consecutive year, we’ve taken our TAA Exclusive to our Tabacalera Pichardo family for production. The 2021 Lost Angel was arguably one of our most highly-regarded TAA releases to date, and I strongly believe that the 2022 version will continue on that path. We’ve selected an all-new blend for the series and I think it checks all the boxes for intensity, structure, flavor, complexity, and balance.

The Lost Angel 2022 is only available to TAA members and is limited to 1,000 boxes of 20 cigars. It comes in one size, a 5 3/4″ x 52 parejo robusto. The blend uses an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, Mexican San Andres binder, and fillers from Nicaragua (2 regions) and the Dominican Republic. The wrapper color is classified as between Colorado and Oscuro. The Lost Angel 2022 is rolled at Tabacalera Pichardo in Esteli, Nicaragua, where many other crowned heads and ACE Prime cigars are made. Each cigar has a retail price of $12.75.
