Скачать или смотреть La Imperiosa by Crowned Heads tasty cigar Review

La Imperiosa is the second Crowned Heads regular production brand (following-up ‘Jericho Hill’) released from the My Father Cigars, S.A. factory in Esteli, Nicaragua, for worldwide distribution.

“Originally a Cuban brand from the early 1900’s, La Imperiosa translates to ‘the imperative,’ or, “..that which is absolutely necessary or required.” The La Imperiosa artwork and band were inspired by the original Cuban vista and band of years gone by.

“The blend of 100% Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos, finished with a dark and imposing Ecuador Habano Oscuro wrapper, is identical to the Las Calaveras EL 2014 blend. Released in May 2014, the Las Calaveras EL 2014 brand went on to become one of the year’s most sought-after new releases, and was praised by cigar enthusiasts around the world. Despite selling-out in a matter of weeks, the demand for Las Calaveras EL 2014 remained high and constant. As a result, it became ‘imperative‘ and ‘absolutely necessary‘ to respond to that demand.

Wrapper: Ecuadorian Habano Oscuro
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Nicaraguan
Big solid stick. Like me. Nearly invisible seams. Lots of spider veins. The triple cap is not close to being what I expect..but there you go. The wrapper is a semi-oily dark chocolate brown.
The cigar band is one of those that is a bitch to photograph. Enough light to show off the wrapper and the gold lettering and trim atop a pale blue background washes out. Not enough light so that the band’s details can be shown and the stick washes out. Go figure.
From the shaft, some nice floral sweetness, cocoa, coffee, cedar, and rich tobacco.
From the clipped cap and foot, I can smell dark, dark chocolate, strong spiciness, cedar, earthiness, coffee, and a wonderful fruity sweetness.
The cold draw presents flavors of a chocolate bar, spice, fruit, cream, and earthy tobacco.
The La Imperiosa by Crowned Heads is a dazzling blend. Full of wonderful flavors. So complex and balanced. Nice long, chewy finish. Love it.
I’m 50/50 on Crowned Heads. They have made some very good cigars. But then they have made some mediocre cigars. I guess they are stretching their legs. I liked the Jericho Hill, Four Kicks, and of course the Las Calaveras….I guess that’s it.
The La Imperiosa by Crowned Heads is a quantum leap for Jon Huber and company.
Or just déjà vu.

The sun has come out and you can see in the following photo the oiliness of what I thought was more of a matte finish. And the small sandy toothiness becomes apparent.

I thoroughly enjoyed the La Imperiosa by Crowned Heads.
It had wonderful complexity. Nice balance. And a mile long finish.
I believe that this is a better blend (Yes. I know it’s the same) than the Las Calaveras. In reality, it cannot be the exact blend. Unless they saved all the tobacco from the Las Calaveras. But even then it would have aged another year.
Weather changes. The same people producing it in the factory? No information on its aging.
Regardless, the blend is one you must try. Especially if it is a limited run.
