The Crowned Heads Las Calaveras 2023 blend reminds us that some things always cause a stir.

Seriously, after over a decade of this cigar releasing in varying editions, it never fails to generate some buzz. Folks just can’t wait to add these to the humidor, whether it’s 2013 or 2023. We suppose in another ten years we’ll still be here getting excited and flicking our lighters over Las Calaveras 2043, too. It's the flavor, you see.

The blend has been featuring Nicaraguan long-fillers and follows that tradition for this edition as well. It’s a vibrant core and we’re quite happy to see it return. The fermented Ecuadorian wrapper of last year has been given a rest, and a Connecticut broadleaf wrapper got the nod. It hasn’t been seen on this stogie since 2016! This adds a wonderful dimension to the flavor profile that we’re so often down to enjoy. Like so many cigar fans, we really can’t get enough broadleaf.

Also, we haven’t even mentioned the key partnership here. Crowned Heads didn’t roll these up in their garage. This is a My Father blend. No, really. The Garcia family played an integral role in making these so fantastic. And for a lot of people, that little factoid probably makes it clear why this cigar stays winning one year after the other.

How does it taste?

Crowned Heads founder Job Huber explains: “The 2023 Las Calaveras blend has so much going on in terms of what you’d expect from a My Father Broadleaf blend, everything from pepper to chocolate to earth, all impeccably and consistently balanced.”

Yep. We’re in. Get ‘em while they’re hot!
