Every year, Crowned Heads Cigars releases a special edition that blends tradition with artistry. The Crowned Heads Las Calaveras LE 2025 carries that legacy forward with a cigar that is both a tribute and a celebration. Since 2014, the Las Calaveras line has been one of the most anticipated annual releases, honoring those who have passed while offering cigar enthusiasts a new, distinctive smoking experience each year. This year, Las Calaveras 2025 is incredibly more limited than last year’s version!
For 2025, Crowned Heads partnered once again with My Father Cigars S.A. in Estelí, Nicaragua. This is the 13th edition of Las Calaveras and only the second time the series has featured a Mexican San Andrés wrapper, the last being in 2018. What sets this year apart is the use of a mid-priming wrapper, which gives the cigar a lighter Colorado shade rather than the darker San Andrés maduro typically seen.
As co-founder Jon Huber explains, “What’s unique about this year’s Las Calaveras release is that not only are we utilizing a San Andres cover leaf, but it’s a color grade that most people would not immediately associate with San Andres (Mexico) wrapper. We selected a mid-priming wrapper, which resulted in a lighter Colorado color to the cigar as opposed to the more commonly seen darker maduro shades of Mexican San Andres wrappers used. This particular wrapper really complements the blend and allows for the coffee, espresso, and toffee notes to come to the surface that can typically get lost under the pepper and earth profile that the darker, higher priming wrappers yield.”
On the palate, the Crowned Heads Las Calaveras LE 2025 delivers a smooth yet complex experience. Smokers will find rich flavors of light pepper spice, coffee, roasted espresso, cocoa, leather, and sweet toffee that evolves. The Nicaraguan binder and fillers enhance the depth, creating a long, satisfying finish that highlights balance and nuance. It’s a cigar designed for those who appreciate elegance, subtlety, and craftsmanship.
This year’s Las Calaveras is available in four vitolas: LC52 (5 x 52), LC54 (6 x 54), LC56 (5 x 56), and a sampler-exclusive Petite Lancero (6 1/2 x 40). With just 1,500 boxes produced per size and 3,000 samplers, quantities are extremely limited. Ranging from $14.25 to $16.25 per cigar, the Las Calaveras continues to be one of the most sought-after limited editions in the industry. Available now at Oak Glen Tobacconist, the Las Calaveras Cigar is a must-try for fans of small-batch craftsmanship, tradition, and unforgettable flavor.
