Exactly one month after it was announced, the Mil Días Escogidos Edición Limitada 2021 is off to stores.

While Crowned Heads originally said it was planning on releasing the cigar in late April, it took a bit longer for the newest size of Mil Días to head to market. The Escogidos measures 7 1/8 x 49 and has an MSRP of $12.50 per cigar. Production is limited to 3,000 boxes of 10 cigars.

The Mil Días line uses an Ecuadorian habano wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and fillers from Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Peru. It is rolled at Tabacalera Pichardo in Nicaragua.

Like many other limited edition vitolas from Crowned Heads, it is inspired by a Cuban cigar, this time the Hoyo de Monterrey Escogidos.
