Crowned Heads Court Reserve XVIII Sublime

Halfwheel · Feb 5, 2019 · October 2018

As I've mentioned before, I don't really get the chance to smoke a lot of cigars during the IPCPR Convention & Trade Show; between the workload and a lack of hands to hold a pen, notepad, camera and a cigar, it's just too much. That doesn't mean I don't get to light up the occasional cigar, and one of the ones I did was a Crowned Heads Court Reserve XVIII. It's also one of the few I actually remember smoking—and enjoying—so much so that I had been waiting to pick up a few more once they released. Six months after that initial cigar, the Crowned Heads Court Reserve XVIII lives up to my memories of it: it delivers heaps of flavor via its rich, full and earthy blend while generally staying balanced and never overpowering the senses. While it could use a bit more sweetness to add complexity and a balance to its other flavors, it's not a overly detrimental absence from the profile, as the rest of the flavors do a more than admirable job. A solid offering from Crowned Heads that more than fits its name as an offering for the brand's true fans, and one that I anticipate I'll return to before long.

Blind Man's Puff · Dec 24, 2018 · October 2018

Crowned Heads showed off a new brand at IPCPR this year, new Court Reserve XVIII. The Court Reserve XVIII uses a Mexican San Andrés wrapper, binder from Ecuador and Nicaraguan filler. This cigar was reviewed blind (no bands) by a panel of at least 4 reviewers. They did not know what they were smoking beforehand. The scores are an average of all the reviewers' scores with outliers removed. All of our cigars reviewed are shipped to the panelists with Boveda packs to ensure optimal smoking experience. The Court Reserve XVIII comes in three vitolas, Robusto: 5 x 50, Corona Gorda: 5.625 x 46, Sublime: 6 x 54. All come in 20-count Boxes and a total of 150,000 cigars were rolled. They are rolled at Tabacalera la Alianza S.A. in the Dominican Republic.

Crowned Heads Court Reserve XVIII Robusto

Developing Palates · Dec 19, 2018 · October 2018

The Crowned Heads Court Reserve XVIII Robusto is a proper Mexican San Andres. This wrapper has a tendency to be too earth dominant for me. But Crowned Heads did a great job of tapering the earth with some tasty notes of cherry cordials and creamy bread. That and the evolving spice led to an experience that was enjoyable from first draw to the last.
