Crowned Heads Sfumato in C Major 6 3/4 * 48, Box of 20

Jon Huber of Crowned Heads is known to name cigars after famous songs. For the Sfumato, he took a creative right turn into the world of art. The brand is named after a painting method developed by Leonardo da Vinci. The Sfumato cigar is composed of a light-tan Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper placed over an Ecuadorian Sumatra binder and a filler made of leaves from Peru, Nicaragua, and the Dominican Republic. This four-nation blend offers a smooth, well-balanced smoking experience that fits well as a morning or evening smoke.

Cigar Origin
Nicaragua
Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
Despite many decades of war and revolution in this Central American country, the cigar industry has thrived due to the hard work and tenacity of Cuban exiles to the land such as Plasencia, Padron, Oliva, Ortez, and others. Tobacco has been a force of social stability, and the country is now one of the principal exporters of premium cigars in the world.

Wrapper
Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade
The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Ecuador is the perfect place to grow wrappers, because it is located on the Equator! And it has rich soils too. The weather conditions, with a nearly permanent cloudy sky, provide a natural shade, protecting the wrapper plants from sunshine and allowing the tobacco to grow thin and light. This climate allows tobacco growers to grow Connecticut-seed wrapper in the shade without shade cloths, resulting in more economical wrapper.
