Crowned Heads is releasing its annual Hawaii-exclusive cigar, Paniolo Especiale, which will debut on October 7 at a VIP dinner hosted by Marvin Chang and R. Field Wine Co.
The 5.5 x 52 Paniolo Especiale 2023 ($11.50) features a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper, Ecuadorian Habano binder, and filler tobaccos from three different regions of Nicaragua. It is manufactured at TacaNicsa in Esteli, Nicaragua, makers of such Crowned Heads cigars as Mil DÃas, Juarez, and Blood Medicine. As with previous releases, the cigars will be packaged in 10-count boxes, with a total production limited to 500 boxes.
“The Paniolo 2023 is a banger-full stop,” Crowned Heads co-founder Jon Huber said in a press release. “I asked Eradio (Pichardo) and TacaNicsa for a ‘high-octane’ Broadleaf blend, and they delivered in spades. I think fans of heavier, medium-to-full bodied smokes are in for a treat.”For further event details and ticket information, please contact Marvin Chang via email at [email protected].
