As in 2019, Crowned Heads has once again partnered with Drew Estate to offer the Hawaii exclusive “Paniolo Especiale” Limited Edition cigar. The 2020 version of this cigar will be relased February 7, 2020 once again at an exclusive dinner event hosted by R. Field Wine at the Prince Waikiki Hotel.
The Paniolo Especiale 2020 is expressed in a single 5.75 x 46 Corona Gorda parejo cigar and will have a blend described as:
- Wrapper – Connecticut Broadleaf
- Binder – Mexican (San Andres)
- Filler – Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, and Brazil
This exclusive cigar is hand crafted at La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate in Esteli, Nicaragua. Packaged in 10-count boxes they will carry an MSRP of $9.80/cigar. It should be noted that the MSRP is the same a last years version even though production has been reduced by 1,000 cigars for a total of 4,000.
In a press release today, Crowned Heads co-owner/founder, Jon Huber noted:
“It’s always a kick to work with Willy (Herrera) and the Drew Estate crew. We began the blending process on Paniolo 2020 last Summer immediately after the PCA show. Last years blend, which featured a Broadleaf wrapper was a hit and we wanted to riff off that, so ‘Chef Herrera’ sprinkled in a dash of Brazilian Mata Fina in the filler.
The end result is a flavor profile that that is rich, balanced, and layered while retaining that muscular structure and intensity that the (Paniolo) 2015 OR and last year’s release have become renowned for.”
