Crowned Heads Belgian Blue LE 2025

The Crowned Heads Belgian Blue LE 2025 cigar returns with its signature boldness intact, this time in a more compact but beefier 5½” x 56 box-pressed double robusto format. Still named for the powerfully built Belgian Blue cattle breed, the cigar once again draws that metaphor through its blend: muscular in strength, dense in flavor, yet surprisingly refined in execution.

Built around a Mexican San Andrés wrapper, an Ecuadorian binder, and fillers from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua, the Belgian Blue distinguishes itself with a rare composition: 75 percent ligero (you heard that right!). While most blends use ligero sparingly due to its slow burn and concentrated strength, this one leans into it, relying on expert construction from D’Hatuey Tabacos S.A. (the factory behind Juárez and Mil Días) to balance combustion and complexity.

The result is a fuller-bodied profile that’s textured and bold but never abrasive. Expect earthy spice, a pepper-forward retrohale, and an undercurrent of dark sweetness that smolders from start to finish. With just 2,500 boxes produced, Belgian Blue LE 2025 once again proves that Crowned Heads knows how to walk the line between power and polish.
