The Crowned Heads J.D. Howard Reserve HR52 is a medium bodied, premium toro that is hand crafted at Ernesto Carrillo’s Tabacalera Alianza factory in the Dominican Republic. It features an inviting red-hued Brazilian wrapper that covers an Ecuadorian Sumatra binder and long-filler Nicaraguan leaves. This savory blend has a warm woodsy profile that is highlighted with notes of spice, chocolate, and sweetness. The J.D. Howard Reserve is Crowned Heads’ third core line. J.D. Howard is an alias Jesse James, the legendary outlaw, used when he retired after a bank heist in 1876.
