The original Headley Grange was inspired by the drum beat on the lead-in to the Led Zeppelin classic "When the Levee Breaks." The name came from where the track was recorded, a former poorhouse (built in 1795) in East Hampshire, England, named Headley Grange. Last year, Crowned Heads released a limited edition version called "Black Lab LE 2018," named after the black Labrador Retriever that was hanging around the Headley Grange studio during the recording of Led Zeppelin IV. That blend uses the same fillers as the original Headley Grange, but replaces the wrapper with Connecticut (Habano) maduro. For 2019, Crowned Heads is releasing "Headley Grange Chamuco LE 2019."
