Description
The Crowned Heads Broadway Epicure is a 5 1/2 x 56 cigar with a dark Connecticut broadleaf wrapper over a Jalapa binder and a filler drawn from three Nicaraguan regions: Estelí, Jalapa and Ometepe. It is the widest of the three sizes in Broadway, a Nicaraguan-made line Crowned Heads introduced at the 2025 PCA trade show.
What It Tastes Like
halfwheel smoked three Epicures for its review after the June 2025 release. The reviewer reported a peppery, toasty start with a little chili and a quiet chocolate thread, then creamier middle stretches where cherry, earth and a vanilla-like sweetness traded places, and a woodier, drier close. Flavor ran medium-full while strength stayed around medium. Burn trouble in two samples stretched smoking time to about three hours. The reviewer likened it to comfort food: satisfying and full of flavor, impressive in some stretches and merely solid in others. When the line was announced, Jon Huber described the blend to Cigar Aficionado as sitting between medium and full, with a sweetness he compared to dessert.
Who It’s For
- Dark-wrapper broadleaf fans who want Nicaraguan tobacco beneath it.
- Fans of thick ring gauges who like a 56 that stays under six inches.
- Afternoon and evening smokers; halfwheel’s reviewer found it too lively for a morning cigar.
