Crowned Heads Coroneta Maduro Duke

Crowned Heads Coroneta is the latest release from the brand. With several new releases like Crowned Heads Blood Medicine, Mil Dias Maduro, and so on, you might wonder if this new cigar might get lost in the shuffle. Not at all. Something that Crowned Heads does well is have each cigar stand out on its own, finding a place for itself in the portfolio. Crowned Heads Coroneta Maduro spotlights a dark Maduro wrapper and highlights the craftsmanship performed at Casa Carillo, by master blender E. P. Carillo.

This cigar is one of two, the second, the Crowned heads Coroneta Habano, is expected to ship soon. The Coroneta Habano is crafted at Nicaragua American Cigars S.A. (NACSA). This blend uses an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, which Crowned Heads is no stranger to. Underneath the cover leaf lies a Nicaraguan binder and fillers. Strength level is in a medium category, with flavor and body being full. The Crowned Heads Coroneta Maduro is made at Ernesto Perez-Carrillo Jr.’s Dominican factory, now known as Casa Carillo. The Maduro counterpart features an oily-looking San Andres Maduro wrapper over an Ecuadorian Connecticut seed with mixed fillers from Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic, and Pennsylvania. This blend is a bit stringer, around medium to full. The body and flavor are full.

Both blends are released in the same sizes:

Crowned Heads Coroneta Maduro/Habano Earl 5×52
Crowned Heads Coroneta Maduro/Habano Duke 5.5×54
Crowned Heads Coroneta Maduro/Habano Baron 6×56

The Coroneta Maduro Duke is a rich, full-flavored Maduro with well rounded notes of pepper, earth, and leather, over layers of espresso, raisin, dark chocolate, and smokey wood, with hints of caramel, toasted nuts, and anise. I feel this cigar excels at delivering a full body with a tamed and elegant strength. While Crowned Heads offers cigars in several different categories of price points, Coroneta is the elevated experience.
