Crowned Heads’ rustic looking booth is back, complete with the portrait of the Man in Black himself, Johnny Cash.

Unlike last year, there are a plethora of new releases to show off, including a new brand and two fairly significant line extensions.

Crowned Heads Court Reserve XVIII

This is the first cigar that Crowned Heads has released with the company name as part of its moniker and was “crafted specifically with a spirit of gratitude and humility towards those and for those that have supported Crowned Heads over the years.” According to the company, the new three-vitola line incorporates tobacco that was chosen based on their terroir, availability and age.

An extension of Crowned Heads’ popular Four Kicks line that debuted at the IPCPR show last year, this vitola is covered in a Connecticut habano wrapper and was first shipped as a exclusive for TAA retailers last month.

I have been smoking cigars for over eight years. A documentary wedding photographer by trade, I spent seven years as a photojournalist for the Dallas Morning News and the Fort Worth Star Telegram. I started the cigar blog SmokingStogie in 2008 after realizing that there was a need for a cigar blog with better photographs and more in-depth information about each release. SmokingStogie quickly became one of the more influential cigar blogs on the internet, known for reviewing preproduction, prerelease, rare, extremely hard-to-find and expensive cigars. I am a co-founder of halfwheel and now serve as an editor for halfwheel.
