Crowned Heads Ships Las Calaveras 2017

On Wednesday, Crowned Heads began shipping the Las Calaveras Edición Limitada 2017 nationally.

Las Calaveras is an annual release, arguably the company’s most anticipated release, a My Father-made offering noted for its distinctive skull appearance.

This year’s Las Calaveras uses an Ecuadorian habano maduro wrapper, a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan fillers.

It’s offered in four sizes, three of which are sold in boxes of 24, while one is offered solely in a four-pack sampler that contains one of each vitola.

“Since we first introduced Las Calaveras in 2014, the marca has risen dramatically in popularity and notoriety,” said Jon Huber, Crowned Heads co-founder, in a statement to halfwheel. “One of the things I’m personally most proud of, however, is that the underlying message of the brand, i.e., to celebrate (rather than mourn) the lives of those who’ve passed on in the previous year, has been heard and received literally around the world.”
