CROWNED HEADS ANNOUNCES ‘BELGIAN BLUE LE 2024’
Crowned Heads is feeling blue…well Belgian Blue that is. Here is the news they recently shared….
Crowned Heads has announced its latest release, ‘Crowned Heads Belgian Blue LE 2024,’ an all-new blend and brand addition to the Crowned Heads portfolio.
The Belgian Blue is a breed of cattle from Belgium known not only for its strength, but for its lean, hyper-sculpted, muscular physique which is termed “double-muscling.” The double-muscling phenomenon is a genetic condition resulting in an increased number of muscle fibers known as hyperplasia.
It is In this spirit of strength that Crowned Heads is excited to Introduce an all-new blend in a limited edition format, the Crowned Heads Belgian Blue LE 2024. “Many modern era cigars are intentionally blended to be strong.” commented Crowned Heads co-founder Jon Huber, “but Belgian Blue was blended to be full in flavor first, full in body second, and the resulting intensity and strength were a by-product of the blend. I’d classify the profile as Intense in terms of spice, especially in the retrohale, and strong in terms of body but not in a nicotinenausea-inducing sort of manner.
The blend is comprised of 75% ligero with a textured base, meaning that the base leaves selected have more thickness and texture, resulting in more strength and better combustion. The profile Is simultaneously strong and smooth.
Belgian Blue is a 6” x 54 box-pressed cigar comprised of a muscular blend of Nicaraguan and Dominican tobaccos, with an Ecuadorian binder, and is finished with a dark Mexican (San Andres) cover leaf.
The Belgian Blue flavor profile is spice-forward yet seamlessly balanced, retaining a raw and robust character, while maintaining a refined elegance that exudes layers of pepper, leather, oak and molasses notes.
Crowned Heads Belgian Blue LE 2024 is packaged in 12-count boxes, with a global production of 2,000 boxes, and carries a suggested retail price of $12.95 per cigar. Manufactured at the TacaNicsa factory in Estell, Nicaragua, Belgian Blue will begin shipping in early November.
