About this cigar
Crowned Heads has earned its standing among serious cigar enthusiasts through meticulous blending and restraint. The J.D. Howard Reserve is a testament to that philosophy, named for the family that built the brand's reputation. This robusto-sized offering balances a sun-grown Ecuadorian wrapper with a carefully curated blend of Dominican and Nicaraguan tobaccos, delivering the kind of complexity that demands attention without overwhelming the palate. Expect a medium-plus smoke with layered character. The draw reveals notes of cocoa, subtle pepper, and aged leather, with a creamy undertone that persists through the final third. There's an elegance here that appeals to the discerning smoker who appreciates restraint over bombast. This is the cigar for the back nine, the leather armchair after a substantial dinner, or that quiet moment of reflection when the day's demands finally settle. For your lounge or retail operation, the J.D. Howard Reserve positions you with a brand that collectors actively seek. At 24 units per box, you're stocking a proven seller that justifies premium retail pricing and commands loyalty from customers who understand the difference between adequate and exceptional.
