The blend is described by Crowned Heads as:

- Binder – Mexican San Andres
- Filler – Dominican Republic and Nicaragua
The Paniolo Especiale 2019 is manufactured at La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate in Esteli, Nicaragua.
In today’s press release, Jon Huber, Crowned Heads co-owner/founder, commented:
“We’re extremely excited for this years Paniolo Especiale as it will mark the first time we’ve utilized a Connecticut (Broadleaf) wrapper on this annual Hawaii-Exclusive release since the inaugural edition back in 2015.
In so far as the Paniolo marca is concerned, I feel as though the 2015 OR has held up as the ‘grail’ blend, and both R. Field Wine and Crowned Heads really wanted to bring the Broadleaf back.
While the blend is entirely different than the 2015, I sincerely feel that smokers will find that this years rendition stacks up very nicely against the 2015. This is an exceptional smoke”
If you are in Hawaii in early February, you can get in on the debut of the Paniolo Especiale 2019 as R. Field Wine will be hosting an exclusive dinner at the Prince Waikiki Hotel in Honolulu February 8th from 6:00 to 9:30PM.
