Description
The Crowned Heads Broadway Robusto Extra is a 4 3/4 x 52 robusto that wraps a dark Connecticut broadleaf leaf around a Jalapa binder and filler from Jalapa, Estelà and Ometepe in Nicaragua. It is rolled at Nicaragua American Cigars S.A. (NACSA) in EstelÃ.
What It Tastes Like
Cigar Aficionado gave the Robusto Extra 90 points in its December 1, 2025 issue and rated it medium-full. Their tasters found a mineral, leathery start, then hickory and a red-wine note adding depth, with a vermouth-like sweetness at the close, and noted an even draw and burn. In its April 2025 launch story, the magazine reported that Crowned Heads expected the blend to keep a “dessert-like” sweetness.
Who It’s For
- Broadleaf fans who want the dark Connecticut leaf in a compact robusto.
- Smokers short on time who prefer a shorter Broadway than the Epicure or Toro.
- Crowned Heads followers curious about the line that kicked off the company’s band redesign.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- 90 points from Cigar Aficionado (December 2025)
- Connecticut broadleaf wrapper over an all-Nicaraguan core
- Smallest format in the Broadway range
Cons
- Medium-full, so it may feel heavy if you usually smoke mild cigars
- A young line that began shipping in mid-2025, so it has a short track record
About the Broadway Line
Nashville-based Crowned Heads showed Broadway to retailers at the 2025 PCA trade show, and the cigars reached shops that summer. Huber said the name points to lower Broadway in Nashville and also plays on the broadleaf wrapper. Cigar Aficionado reported that Broadway began a wider band redesign, pairing a main band with the new Crowned Heads logo and a second band naming the line.
