The Crowned Heads La Vereda uses tobacco that was aged based on the type of tobacco used, and its ideal aging time needed to produce the desired flavor/strength profile for this particular blend. The La Vereda uses a rare Nicaraguan shade-grown wrapper that was aged for at least four years prior to rolling. Its Nicaraguan Jalapa binder houses filler leaves that have been aged for a minimum of three years. The filler uses the following leaves: a Nicaraguan Esteli Corojo ’99 seed grown, a Dominican Republic Piloto Cubano, an Esteli seco and a Jalapa Criollo ’98 seed viso leaf. Once rolled, the cigars are aged in a heavily monitored climate controlled environment that requires the room to be kept at 65-66 degrees Fahrenheit with a relative humidity level of 68-69%. To maintain the highest level of quality control, only a highly skilled team of seven boncheros and seven rollers were allowed to craft the cigars. The Crowned Heads La Vereda cigar is handmade in the Dominican Republic at the Tabacalera La Alianza, which is owned and operated by globally recognized cigar crafter Ernesto Perez-Carrillo Jr.
Cigar Origin
Dominican Republic
Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
The Dominican Republic is the world's first producer of cigars. Most factories are located in Santiago, in the center of the island, and in close proximity to the tobacco fields grown in the fertile Cibao Valley. While tobacco and cigars have always traditionally been produced in the Dominican Republic, many Cuban cigar makers established in the Dominican Republic after the Cuban communist revolution, elevating the quality of Dominican cigars.
Strength
Wrapper Color
Maduro
Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Maduro wrapper can go from dark coffee brown with a reddish tint to blackish brown (the latter also called Oscuro).
Wrapper
Nicaraguan Jalapa
The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Known for its delicate yet complex tobacco, the Jalapa Valley produces some of the most prized crops in the entire industry. Rich with a simultaneously spicy and sweet flavor, Jalapa tobacco is one of the three main Nicaraguan variants that exist today.
Binder
Jalapa
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
Jalapa is a tobacco-producing region in Nicaragua. It is known for its fertile land, and the tobacco grown there is one of superior quality and flavor.
