Description
The Crowned Heads Las Calaveras 2025 LC54 is a 6 x 54 toro from the 2025 edition of Las Calaveras, built with a Colorado-shade Mexican San Andrés wrapper around a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan filler. Crowned Heads has it made at My Father Cigars S.A. in Estelí, Nicaragua which, per halfwheel and Cigar Coop, has made every edition of the series.
What It Tastes Like
Crowned Heads, as quoted by halfwheel, chose a lighter mid-priming leaf so toffee, coffee and espresso could show instead of the pepper and earth of darker San Andrés. Cigar Coop’s March 30, 2026 review of the LC52 (5 x 52) found coffee leading early before earth and minerals took charge with some pepper, while halfwheel’s LC56 review noted cream, nuts and late coffee. Cigar Press reports cocoa, nuts and spice early in the LC54.
Who It’s For
- Toro smokers who want the 2025 Las Calaveras blend at six inches and a 54 ring.
- San Andrés fans curious how that Mexican leaf smokes at a lighter, reddish-brown grade.
- Las Calaveras collectors following the yearly blend changes.
