Music inspires us all at some time or another, but nobody uses that inspiration quite like the folks at Crowned Heads. Listening to Led Zeppelin’s “When the Levee Breaks,” the Crowned Heads team imagined what it might be like to create a cigar that matched the primal, yet deeply textured character of the song. And thus the Headley Grange was born!
Named in honor of the recording retreat where the song was put to tape, Headley Grange cigars feature lush Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos that are surrounded by an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper leaf. Assembled by cigar legend Ernesto Perez-Carrillo’s all-stars at Tabacalera La Alianza, the tantalizing 5” x 48 Hermoso No. 4 delivers a beautifully crafted smoke of about 45 minutes.
Once the 90-rated Headley Grange Hermoso No. 4 is aflame, thick leather, wood, coffee and spice flavors ooze onto the palate and are joined by nuts, licorice and pepper. Waves of nougat and spice flow freely as a delectable creaminess enraptures the taste-buds on the way to an incredibly balanced grand finale.
The Hermoso No. 4 is ideal for those in search of a lively, yet silky smooth medium-to-full bodied smoke. So fire up a Headley Grange Hermoso No. 4, pour a pint or two of a fine English Porter and crank up Led Zeppelin’s Fourth album and savor the pure sensory gratification!
