Crowned Heads The Lost Angel 2023 TAA Exclusive

The Lost Angel Limited Edition TAA 2023 Exclusive is the ninth release in Crowned Heads' long-running saga, releasing the cigars exclusively through the Tobacconists’ Association of America (TAA) on a near-annual basis. The first six cigars went under the title "The Angel's Anvil," which cleverly forms the acronym "TAA". The cigars also arrived with a juicy narrative, with CH telling the story of a fallen angel that crates new wings in order to return to heaven.

The series diverged from the norm in 2021, with Crowned Heads approaching the tale from a different angle—a prequel or sorts. Since this time, the annual TAA release has gone by the name The Lost Angel, which explores the darker side of the story's protagonist (i.e. the angel's fall from heaven).

The Crowned Heads The Lost Angel 2023 cigar marks a return to the E.P. Carrillo factory of the DR for the first time since 2019. This special release was in the works for nearly two years, and was kicked into gear after Master Blender Ernesto Perez-Carrillo brought out a unique Ecuadorian Sumatra hybrid C9 leaf to be used as the cigar's wrapper. This fine-tuned ingredient was used in conjunction with an Ecuadorian Sumatra binder and diverse fillers from the Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Nicaragua. The cigars were rolled in a single 6" x 54 toro format, being limited to 1,000 boxes for 2023. Collectors and flavor-craved enthusiasts alike will be clamoring for this limited release, which dials in at medium-plus to medium-full in body, hitting flavors of oak, cinnamon-coated nuts, and chewy molasses cookies.
