Le Patissier No 54
Le Pâtissier by Crowned Heads cigars developed an instant cult following after the original 6½”x44 Le Pâtissier parejo debuted as a 2021 Premium Cigar Association show exclusive. Now Le Pâtissier is back and making a splash again with fans in four more popular shapes: Canonazo, No. 50, Senadores, and No. 54. “We went to work on repurposing the Le Pâtissier blend into a slightly larger ring gauge range and it took the flavor profile and performance to the next level,” said Crowned Heads co-founder, Jon Huber. “The result is a Grade-A Dark Connecticut Broadleaf expression that is completely unique to any of our previous forays with that wrapper.” Manufactured at Tabacalera Pichardo in Estelí, Nicaragua, the full-bodied blend also has a Nicaraguan binder over Nicaraguan and Costa Rican fillers.

Tres Delincuentes Toro Maduro
“Some time ago, Brian, Eylin, and I were in the car on our way back to our factory after a morning in the tobacco fields of Jamastran in Honduras, discussing the future,” said Sébastien Decoppet in a press release. “At that moment, a song was playing on the car radio from which two words jumped to all our ears. ‘Tres Delincuentes.’ The three of us immediately looked at each other and had that feeling of ‘this is it.’ After a good laugh, we got back to the factory and immediately started plotting Tres Delincuentes together. It had to be a take on us three as individuals, representing what Cavalier can be, influenced by art and music.” Blend: Wrapper: Connecticut Ecuador Binder: Habano Ecuador Filler: Habano Nicaragua Piloto Dominicano Habano Honduras
