Crowned Heads CHC Serie E Review
The Crowned Heads Serie E CHC is a master of complexity, with changes coming thick and fast. Its rockstar profile jumps with deep, rich flavors (both savory and sweet) that fret effortlessly with one another. It’s a cigar that would make the late, great EVH proud.

Caldwell Eastern Standard Cakewalk Piramide Review

Ironically, this infused cigar has nothing to do with turning on the waterworks, instead inspired by Jamaican cow tongue tobacco and the country’s love for the underdog. Many people don’t know that Jamaica has a long history of…
