Just in time for this year’s holiday gift season, Crowned Heads has announced the release of their Mil Días Belicosos Finos LE 2023 cigars. This year-end release features the top-rated Crowned Heads Mil Días blend, while the cigar’s 5½”x52 dimensions were inspired by the legendary Bolivar Belicoso Fino made in Cuba.
Handcrafted at TacaNicsa in Estelí, Nicaragua, the blend consists of a pristine Ecuador Habano leaf seamlessly rolled around a Nicaraguan binder over fillers from Nicaragua, Peru, and Costa Rica.
“This year has been so successful for Crowned Heads that we wanted to close out the year, not only with a bang, but also by offering something special to everyone who’s supported us,” said company co-founder, John Huber.
Mr. Huber added that Crowned Heads has only offered a Belicoso Fino vitola in their La Carême blend as a limited edition release, and as an exclusive size in their Las Calaveras EL 2023 sampler.
“The size really lends itself beautifully to the Mil Días blend and the result is a flavor experience packed with layers of cream, wood, tea, and an underlying floral quality.”
Production has been limited to 1,500 12-count boxes within a total global production of 18,000 cigars. The Mil Días Belicoso Fino LE 2023 will carry an MSRP of $12.95 per cigar. CA
