Las Calaveras 2024

Las Calaveras is a delectable yearly offering from the Crowned Heads company with a beautiful sentiment behind it. Each year, the special limited edition smoke is crafted and released in three different sizes along with a fourth available via sampler pack. Las Calaveras, however, is not an anniversary cigar. It’s a cigar meant to honor those at the company, or close to those who work with Crowned Heads, that have passed away. The name Las Calaveras comes from an etching created by the artist José Guadalupe Posada back in the late 1800s depicting a woman’s skull with a festive hat. The painting, La Calavera Catrina, is strongly associated with Día de Muertos. With that in mind, the ingredients in this cigar and the flavors they produce are not taken lightly. The 2024 blend is a Nicaraguan puro with a Habano wrapper. The cigar has a handsome chocolate bar exterior and is double-banded, adding to the cigar’s prestige out of the box. The tasting profile is one of citrus, nuts, pepper and dried nuts; a festive combination that matches the increasingly intricate and colorful branding that accompanies the smoke. Jon Huber, the co-founder of Crowned Heads said of the blend in a press release: “When I smoked the final blend for this year’s Las Calaveras, it immediately took me back to the 2015 Las Calaveras profile, which happens to be one of my favorite blends in the series.” The 2015 Las Calaveras was heralded for its density of smoke and the immediacy with which the flavors hit and continued to delight throughout the course of the cigar. The interplay of sweetness and heat earned the cigar a very difficult to come by 92 rating by the experts at Halfwheel. If that is the starting point for the 2024 cigar, the sky is the limit for customers who already know that Crowned Heads means quality construction, perfectly aged tobacco and a presentation unlike any other.
