Crowned Heads Mil Dias LE 2021 (Escogidos)

[chain_gang]

Vibrant and soft corojo-ish spices, a tad of twang, and velvety smooth initial puffs.

Overall a mild-plus to mild-medium. Lot's of subtleness going on throughout.

Got some light spices that aren't peppery, and seem kinda corojo-ish. The twang gives way to a fruitness, and I thought pineapple. Thoughts of dough crossed my mind early on, and it does seem a bit pie-crusty as you progress, and a tad toasty at times. Velvety smooth throughout.

The stick did need quite a few touch-ups, but this is a newly released cigar that just may need a bit more rest. Only noting for my next encounter.

Judgement:

Great stick. Didn't care for it after the initial puffs, to be honest. It's another stick that grew on me - and it grew BIG-time. Not a milder fan, and that bias held it's ground early on, but did give way to this stick. The subtleties and smoothness were remarkable, and I'm definitely looking forward to the other vitola I have. I believe this stick will have a higher personal score on my next encounter. Recommended.

Thanks again for the 'trade' stick. Gonna have to hit you good for this one.

Time permitting, I'm going to try to smoke the initial release, back to back with this special edition.

The line that got me in your review was the pie crust - last time I had the regular I got some grahm cracker.

Looks like I'm doing the same with the Mareva tomorrow. Good call.
