Crowned Heads
Le Careme Cañonazo Single Cigar
The Crowned Heads Le Carême Cañonazo Single is an internationally celebrated boutique masterpiece crafted by brand founder Jon Huber in close collaboration with legendary master blender Ernesto Perez-Carrillo. The project draws its creative inspiration from Marie-Antoine Carême, the pioneer nineteenth-century French chef who famously popularized the soufflé dessert. To capture that exact sense of airy, chocolatey decadence in smoke form, the blending team selected a dark, exceptionally toothy Connecticut Broadleaf maduro cover leaf. This rich wrapper envelops a spicy Ecuadorian Sumatra binder and a core of heavily aged Nicaraguan long-fillers.
The resulting medium-bodied expression is widely revered for its ability to deliver an ultra-creamy, confectionary flavor profile without relying on artificial flavorings or overbearing physical strength. Offered as a standalone single, this soft box-pressed Cañonazo serves as an unmatched after-dinner luxury. It behaves as a phenomenal standalone dessert alternative or a premium companion paired alongside a hot cafe mocha, a sweet tawny port, or a glass of aged dark rum.

First Third: The cigar gets underway with a rich and layered introduction. Initial puffs deliver a balanced combination of sweet milk chocolate and sun-dried fruit notes, instantly countered by a sharp, lively dusting of both red and black pepper flakes on the retrohale.
Second Third: As the burn line advances, the profile transforms into something remarkably reminiscent of a warm French pastry shop. The early pepper completely settles down, allowing smooth waves of rich fudge, melted caramel, and light vanilla cream to take over the core.
Final Third: The finish introduces a deeper, more savory complexity while retaining its core sweetness. Heavy layers of roasted espresso beans, weathered leather, and a warm baking nutmeg spice linger on the tongue, creating a decadent, dessert-like conclusion.
