Juarez is Crowned Heads' value-priced, San Andres-wrapped line — think of it as a more wallet-friendly companion to Jericho Hill, with vitolas named after the "Cocaine Blues" story. It's rolled at Tabacalera Pichardo in Esteli, Nicaragua, using a Mexican San Andres wrapper over Ecuador Sumatra binder and a blend of Nicaraguan and Dominican filler. OBS is the box-pressed 4 3/4 x 52 robusto.

What it tastes like

For an inexpensive cigar, this punches above its price. The San Andres wrapper brings dark cocoa, black pepper, oak, and leather, rounded out by a creamy finish. It runs medium to full in body with a satisfying spice, and the box press makes it comfortable to hold and slow to burn. It's not as refined as the pricier Crowned Heads lines, but it's a tasty, honest smoke.

Who it's for

Juarez OBS is a perfect everyday cigar for smokers who love dark, peppery San Andres without spending much, and it's approachable enough for adventurous newer smokers. Pair it with coffee or bourbon any time of day. To understand the dark wrapper, see Maduro vs Connecticut, and if you want the higher-end version of this style, try the Jericho Hill OBS.
