Crowned Heads Slates Las Calaveras 2022 for July

This year’s version of the Las Calaveras will arrive a bit later than normal.

Crowned Heads has announced that it will release the new Las Calaveras Edición Limitada 2022 next month. It will be made entirely of Nicaraguan tobaccos capped off by a corojo 99 wrapper. This is not only a new blend for the series, but also the first time it has been a Nicaraguan puro. Like prior releases, it is rolled at My Father Cigars S.A. in Estelí, Nicaragua.

“The corojo oscuro wrapper results in a flavor profile that, in my opinion, is reminiscent of the signature ‘My Father’ style of delivering classic Nicaraguan structure and intensity, while retaining complexity and balance,” said Jon Huber, co-founder of Crowned Heads, in a press release.

As has typically been the case, there will be four sizes, three of which will be sold in 24-count boxes and a fourth size that will be offered exclusively in a sampler that contains one of each of the sizes:

• Las Calaveras Edición Limitada 2022 LC46 (5 3/4 x 46) — 1,500 Boxes of 24 Cigars + 2,500 Samplers of 1 Cigar (38,500 Total Cigars)
• Las Calaveras Edición Limitada 2022 LC52 (5 x 52) — 1,500 Boxes of 24 Cigars + 2,500 Samplers of 1 Cigar (38,500 Total Cigars)
• Las Calaveras Edición Limitada 2022 LC54 (6 1/2 x 54) — 1,500 Boxes of 24 Cigars + 2,500 Samplers of 1 Cigar (38,500 Total Cigars)
• Las Calaveras Edición Limitada 2022 Petit Lancero (6 1/2 x 40) — 2,500 Samplers of 1 Cigar (2,500 Total Cigars)

The LC 46 has an MSRP of $11.95, the LC52 is priced at $12.95, the LC54 is priced at $13.95 and the sampler is priced at $49.95.

Las Calaveras is an annual limited edition for the company that pays tribute to those close to the company’s personnel who have lost their lives. The name comes from La Calavera Catrina, a zinc etching by José Guadalupe Posada. This year’s release is dedicated to four people who have passed, each of whom is identified by their initials included on the band.
