It took a thousand days to get the blend right (that’s what “Mil Días” means), but it’s clear that these cigars will be flying off the racks for a lot longer than that. Clearly, hard work pays off! Here’s to a thousand more!

Crowned Heads Mil Días Magicos Edición Limitada 2021 is the third limited edition version of this fantastic cigar that has hit the market. It joins Mareva and Escogidos as different vitolas of the popular mainline blend. This one is the shortest of the bunch at four and a half inches long. It’s a petite robusto with a 52-ring gauge.

First things first – if you’re thinking that using the same leaf and changing the size does nothing to the flavor and smoke experience, you might be in for a surprise. The ratios often shift a bit, which can do truly interesting things to the taste of the cigar, leading to limited editions that each smoke differently than the original and other.

Like the Escogidos, the Crowned Heads Mil Días Magicos Edición Limitada 2021 was inspired by another Cuban cigar. This time, it was the Cohiba Magicos that supplied the inspiration. There’s still the blend mix that made Mil Días a success, though: an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and long-filler tobaccos from Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Peru.

The flavors are quite enjoyable. You’ll get something like a Snickers bar in the core notes of chocolate and peanuts. There are also intriguing hits of cinnamon and an earthy brewer’s yeast in the draw. It’s got the Mil Días complexity for sure and delivers it in a nice brief format. As Crowned Heads founder Jon Huber said, “[W]e feel like the upcoming colder weather is the perfect time for this more compact vitola.” So, it’s the kind of cigar you take out into a winter smoke session that won’t keep you out too long if you don’t want to contend with the cold for hours and hours.

We’re in Tampa, so we don’t know much about that these days, but for those of you in the northern regions, keep this smoke in mind for a high-quality piece of puffing on frosty days.

This Crowned Heads Mil Dias Magicos Edicion Limitada 2021 Petit Robusto cigar is made in Nicaragua. Outside, you'll find an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper.

Crowned Heads Mil Dias Magicos Edicion Limitada 2021 is a Medium bodied Petit Robusto-shaped cigar with a length of 4.50 and a ring gauge of 52.
