Crowned Heads founder Jon Huber is fond of naming his cigars after songs or musicians. And the CHC Serie E is no exception. This extension to the Crowned Heads Court line is a nod to the rock classic “Eruption,” a stirring guitar solo performed by none other than Eddie Van Halen of Van Halen. The Serie E (the “E” stands for Eruption) is an imposing stick with a dark Ecuadorian Habano Oscuro wrapper that telegraphs its explosive complexity of flavors. The wrapper is accompanied by a compilation of premium leaves from some of the best tobacco growing regions in Nicaragua. The CHC Serie E is hand crafted at Tabacalera Pichardo in Nicaragua.
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.

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.

Ecuador supplies Connecticut and Sumatra type wrappers to many cigar factory in the world.
