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 nicotine- nausea-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 Esteli, Nicaragua, Belgian Blue will begin shipping in early November.
