Crowned Heads La Imperiosa Dukes

Worth knowing

The stately format burns for approx. 60 - 75 minutes, is rolled at Don Pepín Garcia and combines only top tobaccos from Nicaragua under a flawless Ecuador wrapper. It's hard to believe the friendship price - especially since everything is just fine in terms of taste!

Flavours

Like the other formats of the series, the "Herzog" is decidedly nutty - in its oily smoke you think you can taste walnuts and hazelnuts as well as pumpkin seeds or buckwheat. But there is also a whole range of sweeter notes - from forest honey to yellow fruits like apricots to caffè cortado. As the smoke progresses, a distinctive cedar scent comes to the fore, surrounded by somewhat more robust coffee flavours and moderate toasty facets with a toast touch. The strength is a little below average for a long time, but picks up a little in the final third. The smoke remains fabulously creamy.
