About this cigar
Crowned Heads has built its reputation on small-batch precision, and the J.D. Howard Reserve represents the brand's commitment to sourcing and blending at the highest level. Named in honor of the late J.D. Howard, a cigar industry pioneer, this release pairs an expertly aged Ecuadorian Habano wrapper with a carefully constructed Dominican and Nicaraguan binder and filler. The result is a cigar with serious pedigree and remarkable balance. The HR48 delivers a medium-plus body with complex layers of cedar, toasted nuts, and subtle pepper that builds gradually rather than overwhelming. Early notes hint at cocoa and dried fruit, while the finish settles into a clean, lingering spice that suggests quality leaf and patient construction. This is a cigar that rewards unhurried smoking, making it ideal for customers who understand the difference between quantity and craftsmanship. For your lounge or premium retail setting, the J.D. Howard Reserve attracts the knowledgeable buyer who seeks out Crowned Heads releases specifically. The 24-count box format makes it efficient for inventory while maintaining the exclusivity your clientele expects. Stock this for the after-dinner crowd and the cigar enthusiasts who view their purchase as an event, not a transaction.
