Sweet · Spice · Earthy · Roast
Las Calaveras is Crowned Heads' annual limited edition, released each May around the Day of the Dead theme its name evokes ("the skulls"). Every year brings a new blend, and the 2023 edition marked the line's return to a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper for the first time since 2016. The LC50 is the classic 5 x 50 robusto, made — like every Las Calaveras to date — at My Father Cigars in Estelí, Nicaragua.
What it tastes like
The Broadleaf maduro wrapper drives a rich, hardwood-forward profile: dark chocolate, black pepper, sweet cream, and earth, with a coffee-like depth and a touch of spice. It sits in the medium-full range — flavorful and substantial without being a brute — and the My Father construction delivers a clean, even burn. Because each year's blend is unique, this 2023 release is its own thing, not a reissue.
Who it's for
As a limited annual release with a Broadleaf maduro core, it's aimed at experienced smokers and collectors who enjoy chasing the yearly drop. Smoke it after a meal with espresso or bourbon. To understand the dark wrapper at its heart, read Maduro vs Connecticut, and the cigar strength guide helps place a medium-full smoke.
