Stolen Throne Celebrating Fifth Anniversary with Crook of the Crown Corona
Lee Marsh of Stolen Throne Cigars said that he generally doesn’t like doing line extensions for his portfolio, but when the time came to celebrate the fifth anniversary of his company, he made an exception, adding a new size to Crook of the Crown, the company’s first line.
The cigar measures six inches long with a 46 ring gauge, a size that Marsh said is one of his favorites. “I thought it would be a cool one-and-done way to celebrate the five-year anniversary,” he said.
As for the tobacco, Marsh said that the Crook of the Crown has been reblended for this release, needing to adjust the ratios of the tobacco uses. But Marsh confirmed that it still uses the same blend as the Crook of the Crown line, meaning a Mexican San Andrés maduro wrapper, an Indonesian binder, and a Nicaraguan filler.
Production is limited to 50,000 cigars, which are offered in 20-count bundles and come with a single cigar MSRP of $12. They are being made at the Rojas Cigar Factory in Estelí, Nicaragua.
Marsh said he expects the cigars to begin shipping in May.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury, the G-League's Valley Suns, and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
