This brand may come to you from parts unknown, but rest assured, Black Crown cigars hail from one of the industry's premier boutique factories. Raices Cubanas is based in Danli, Honduras, and has been responsible for some of the industry's hottest, highest-rated handmades over the past few years. And while you'll be hard-pressed to find a rating for Black Crown - due to a near-zero marketing budget - you will no doubt fall in love with this enchanting medium to full-bodied blend. Enter Black Crown, a cigar primed for the exploratory enthusiast and ready to please the eager palates of any and all willing.
To craft Black Crown, an absolutely gorgeous Honduran Habano wrapper was carefully fermented to achieve a dark, leathery leaf that's both toothy and oily. Despite this leaf's natural full-flavored charisma, it's the blend beneath that earns the limelight. Seven different long-fillers, all vintage, from Cuban-seed, and grown throughout Central America, are expertly blended inside two feisty binders - an earthy Honduran Habano and rich Nicaraguan ligero. After extensive aging, this supremely complex recipe serves up an eventful, medium to full array of bold yet balanced flavors. An experienced palate may note earth, toasted peanut, cocoa, and cedar, with a dash of black pepper on the finish complementing a unique sweetness perfectly. A lesser experienced palate will note an extremely flavorful cigar that's unique and satisfying. One that burns incredibly slow and introduces your taste buds to a level of flavor unrivaled by most handmades in this price arena. Black Crown cigars....an impressive feat in handmade cigars that just might have you craving for more....daily.
“These black crowns are fantastic. I recommend the toro size. It's one of the best I've had lately. Bought a box after smoking just two of them. I usually don't pull that trigger (on a box) until i've had 6 or 7, but 10 days after receiving it, it's half gone. Dynamite stick!”

“Very nice cigar here. I got the Churchill because that's all that remained during a weekend special. I don't ordinarily like Churchill as they seem to have a hard draw and get tarry from the difficult puffing, but this was not the case here. Quality smokes make the difference I guess. I think for this Black Crown, the thinner ring gauge of the Churchill size makes a better taste of the double binders and wrapper. Near two hour celebration smoke, these.”

“Picked up some of these during a weekend special.....couldn't wait to try them so lit one as soon as they arrived. If they improve with a little age, it will be an incredible smoke! The construction, burn, draw was excellent...two thumbs up for Black Crown!”

“Just a great cigar, that's what I think of the brand "BLACK CROWN" in the Coronas size. Just great taste all around the cigar. It starts out mild and finishes off real nice and heavy , the way a cigar should. All the hype Is right ,a great cigar indeed.
