Headley Grange Drumstick 2017 Limited Edition – Arriving this week!

Anthony’s Cigar Emporium just learned from Crowned Heads that it is getting a shipment of the very limited Headley Grange Drumstick 2017 Limited Edition.  In 2013 Crowned Heads released the Headley Grange Drumstick 2013 Limited Edition that was a 7 ½ x 38 Lancero with a pig-tail cap and was quickly sold out. That release was very limited to just 1,500 boxes of 10. Four years later, Crowned Heads announced the second release of the limited edition Headley Grange Drumstick 2017 but the production numbers have fallen to just 1,000 boxes of 10. Working closely with industry icon, Ernesto Perez-Carrillo, Jr., and Tabacalera La Alianza, S.A., the Headley Grange Drumstick 2017 blend has been re-created and packaged in the original 10-count box but the 2017 release has a black ribbon on the foot.

The dark and oily high-priming Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper is seamlessly applied to a core of Nicaraguan long-fillers hugged by a Nicaraguan binder in a variation on the original Headley Grange regular blend. From the first puff of the Headley Grange Drumstick 2017, the senses are met with a wave of nutty, spicy-sweet flavors. Coffee, baking spice, and leather join forces with creamy and earthy undertones. Because the lancero is a difficult shape, not only to roll, but to blend correctly, the entire batch of Drumsticks is being produced by one roller at E.P. Carrillo’s Tabacalera La Alianza S.A.

Four Kicks Mule Kick LE 2017 – Arriving at end of April!

Anthony’s Cigar Emporium, a Crowned Heads retailer, will be getting the Four Kicks Mule Kick LE 2017 cigar for the first time in five years!  In 2012 Crowned Heads released the Four Kicks Mule Kick LE 2012. That release was very limited and was quickly snatched up and over the years, achieved a nearly mythical ‘unicorn status’ among cigar aficionados.

Five years later, Crowned Heads announced the release of Four Kicks Mule Kick LE 2017. Working closely with industry icon, Ernesto Perez-Carrillo, Jr., and Tabacalera La Alianza, S.A., the Mule Kicks blend has been re-created in the original 10-count box for 2017. The high priming Ecuadoran Habano wrapper is seamlessly applied to a core of Nicaraguan long-fillers hugged by a Nicaraguan binder in a variation on the original Four Kicks regular blend. From the first puff of the Four Kicks Mule Kick LE 2017 cigar, the senses are met with a wave of chewy, spicy-sweet flavors. Nuts, leather, and a steady dose of pepper join forces with creamy, cedary undertones.

2017 Viaje Leaded Double Edged Sword – Just Arrived!

Anthony’s Cigar Emporium just received the 2017 Viaje Leaded Double Edged Sword.

In 2010 Viaje released an iconic 5 ¾ x 52 Double Perfecto format called the Double Edged Sword that was a Nicaraguan puro using a criollo wrapper. Only 3,125 cigars were produced and it is now highly sought after by Viaje collectors.

In 2017 Viaje is releasing the Double Edged Sword for the second time in the very popular Exclusivo Leaded blend. The Viaje Leaded Double Edged Sword will be the second release of the Exclusivo Leaded, which is an all-Nicaraguan blend using medio tiempo leaves. Medio Tiempo is one of the highest priming leafs that only grows on a very small percentage of tobacco plants – so it is often quite limited. Medio tiempo is known to provide strength, body, and flavor.

The Viaje Leaded Double Edged Sword is packaged in boxes of 25 stamped Leaded in red and the cigar has the Exclusivo Leaded label with a red and black Viaje logo.

Herrera Esteli Miami Corona – 2016 LE

The Herrera Esteli Miami Corona 2016 LE is made at El Titan de Bronze’s boutique factory in Little Havana that employs only Level 9 rollers from Cuba who continue to manufacture cigars in traditional Cuban style, including tubing the filler and finishing with a triple cap; a perfect size for a perfect Cubanesque blend. The specific Miami blend features an Ecuadorian Habano Oscuro Wrapper, Ecuadorian Sumatra Binder, and Dominican and Nicaraguan Fillers.  The Ecuadorian Habano wrapper of the regular production Herrera Esteli have added fermentation and strength in the Herrera Esteli Miami Corona.

Before joining Drew Estate, Herrera was the cigar blender for El Titan de Bronze.   Herrera was recruited by Drew Estate and spent the first 3 years at Drew Estate, predominantly in Estelí, Nicaragua adapting to working at La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate, a factory with access to some of the most innovative and diverse black tobaccos in the world. In 2013, Drew Estate released the Herrera Estelí Brand, a medium bodied, spicy, Cubanesque cigar, and followed up in 2014 the release of Herrera Estelí Norteño, a full-bodied maduro, as his sophomore release.  The Herrera Esteli Piramide Fino would go on to be named Cigar Aficionado‘s No. 8 cigar of 2013, and the following year, Herrera added Herrera Esteli Norteno.

When asked about the Herrera Esteli Miami, Herrera stated, “The journey at Drew Estate has taken me to new countries, and almost every state in the union. After 5 years, it was time to come home and work on a project where it all began for me. Going back to my roots and in my home where I was brought up has been such a blessing.”
