New WorldExperiencedCrowned Heads Headley Grange Estupendos
A 5 1/2 x 52 Ecuador Sumatra robusto made at EP Carrillo, inspired by Led Zeppelin. Earthy, peppery, and full-flavored — a longtime Crowned Heads favorite.
Flavor profile
Earthy · Spice · Roast
Headley Grange takes its name from the English country house where Led Zeppelin recorded, and the blend was built to echo the thunderous drum intro of "When the Levee Breaks." It's rolled at Ernesto Perez-Carrillo's Tabacalera La Alianza in the Dominican Republic, with Nicaraguan binder and filler under an Ecuador Sumatra wrapper. The Estupendos is the original 5 1/2 x 52 size.
What it tastes like
This is a hearty, earthy cigar with real presence. Expect cedar, earth, black pepper, leather, and coffee, layered into a full-flavored profile that lands in the medium-full range. The Sumatra wrapper keeps things from turning sharp, adding a touch of natural sweetness over the robust Nicaraguan core. Construction is excellent, with a slow, even burn that suits an unhurried smoke.
Who it's for
Headley Grange is for smokers who like a flavorful, earthy, medium-full cigar with some backbone — newer smokers may find it a bit much. It's a great after-dinner or evening smoke with coffee or bourbon.
