Mortal Coil - CAO

When it comes to pushing the bar for highly sought after tobacco or harvesting tobacco from unusual regions, CAO is no stranger. The new Mortal Coil brings back the old world style of fermentation to this new world cigar. A relatively rare, centuries-old technique that involves taking cured Andullo tobacco leaves and tightly coiling them in palm tree pods called “yaguas” to ferment. This process yields a dark, leathery tobacco with a taste profile that is both strong and sweet.

The two year process results in a full bodied experience filled with notes of nutty, earth, cocoa, and dark cherry. CAO Mortal Coil blends this rare tobacco inside a USA Broadleaf wrapper for a unique cigar that’s uncommonly flavorful.

Las Calaveras Edicion Limitada 2023 - Crowned Heads

Las Calaveras, a yearly tradition for the brand Crowned Heads. While the band color and the blend of the cigar changes each year, one thing remains, this sought after cigar is always in high demand and sells out quick! With only 1500 boxes of each size produced, it makes the release even more exclusive. The Las Calaveras Edición Limitada 2023 is crafted by none other than the esteemed master, José ‘Pepin’ Garcia.

In this 10th release of the Las Calaveras series, a dark and robust Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper shrouds Nicaraguan long-filler tobaccos, offering a tantalizing blend of sweet cocoa, leathery richness, and earthy undertones. This blend has a medium to full-bodied profile, promising a finish that lingers in the palate.

Las Calaveras Edición Limitada embodies the spirit of celebration, drawing inspiration from the Mexican holiday, the Day of the Dead. This annual release pays homage to the joy of life and the cherished memories of loved ones who have embarked on their eternal journey. An iconic touch, each cigar's band is adorned with four distinctive coins, bearing the initials of those who departed in the previous year, a poignant reminder of the ever-changing tapestry of existence.
