Crowned Heads

I'm not exactly sure what it is, but at that place'southward something about the Crowned Heads berth that just works. It'southward a rectangular shape with built-out corners, meaning some wall panels that create places to hang art and a seating area with some more than decorative chairs. From in that location it flows into a centre department with the typical chairs and tables for meetings, and the familiar black rolling cases that would be at home on a concert bout but here serve to hold product samples and other goodies. It might just be the colors of everything coming together, or the combination of the woods, metals and other designs in the booth, but whatever it is creates a pretty absurd vibe once inside.

It's also a booth shared with ACE Prime, which Crowned Heads distributes, while the ii companies have worked together on cigars for the company'southward portfolio by way of them beingness produced at Tabacalera Pichardo. It's 1 thing to have a good vibe on paper; it's some other to have information technology in the existent world, and it seems similar these two companies—at to the lowest degree judging by the booth—have it.

CHC Serie E

Like every Crowned Heads cigar, this i starts with the significant behind its name, which is short for Crowned Heads Court and Eruption.

Like many of the visitor'southward releases, it'due south inspired past music, specifically, Eddie Van Halen's guitar solo from the song "Eruption." "I listened to that solo and saw it equally a sonic metaphor for smoking this cigar," said Jon Huber, co-founder of Crowned Heads, when the cigar was announced. "From the pulsate and bass intro, which I saw as the cutting-lighting-prep of the cigar, to the mixing of triads and harmonics which I compared to the complexity of the flavor profile, to the bottoming-out swoop bombs that was reminiscent of the finish of the cigar, it all paralleled seamlessly. The CHC Serie E smoking feel is a medium-plus-bodied dance on the border betwixt technical mastery and random entropy, resolving in a balanced, melodious harmony."

This wasn't on display simply is heading to stores this month.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light upwards is the culmination of the piece of work of endless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, information technology's about so much more the cigar – it's well-nigh the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the piece of work of artisans and the way that a skillful cigar can bring people together. In add-on to my work with halfwheel, I'thousand the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, also as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football game League. I also work in a number of roles for MLB.com, plus I'm a vocalization over artist. I previously covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
