Crowned Heads - La Imperiosa Corona Gorda

I didn't get to smoke much of it.



The bottom part would not burn. The wrapper would burn for a second and go out. It was just a rock hard black chunk. once the other side got low enough I used my lighter to pull it away from the rest of the tobacco. Then I put the fire to it and it smelled like burning plastic. It happened again at the end of the first third. After that one the burning plastic smell turned into a burning plastic taste and I tossed it out.

On the upside I bought it at The Cigar Exchange in Wilmington, NC. That shop is first rate. It is in a little cut in the historic district. The sales guy was extremely friendly and helpful. He was knowledgeable to a crazy level and avoided sounding condescending. It was probably the best shopping experience I've had outside of Bull City Cigar. My wife bought a bottle of wine and he offered to let us borrow a cork screw on the condition we brought it back when the shop opened. @JonHuber should be proud to have them selling his product.
