Maybe an unfair question, Jon, but which vitola in the line is your favorite? Hoping you'll say the CG.

Already been ask and answered in this thread......

bigbwalls - Good question...tough to answer. My favorite vitola has always been 5 5/8 x 46--and that shape (Corona Gorda) shines in the Headley Grange blend.

That said, the Hermoso no. 4 (5 x 48) is /amazing/ and you'd be hard-pressed to find a cigar in a 44RG that has the structure/intensity/flavor that the Eminentes has (5 1/4 x 44).

The #4 and the Dobles sound good, but not wild about the extreme box press idea.

I wouldn't say the press on the current size is extreme at all and it's being called a trunk press.

This thread is discussing the next release, described as a trunk press. The trunk press squares up the cigar even more than the typical box press.

Maybe I'm crazy but I believe that the current release, the Estupendos, is billed as being trunk pressed. Maybe the rest of the line will be a more extreme trunk press? I dunno. Just repeating what I've read from multiple sources.

Thanks, missed that.

Kind of a non-answer, actually, but what the hey.

Burns is awesome! They had the full line in today and I wanted so badly to buy one of each. Sadly I had to control myself and pick just one. I went with the Eminentes and I'm super stoked to smoke it soon! There isn't an extreme press on it as some have expected. It honestly just looks like a mini Estupendos lol

From the smell of it alone I think I will love it! I will probably be smoking it tonight and I will update with my thoughts.

Oh then you're in luck! They just got done remodeling Burns Downtown and it is awesome! That is where I got mine and they had plenty.

Emerson's has a sampler with all sizes.

Will be keeping an eye out for these.

I ordered a 5'er of the Eminentes, looking forward to the smaller format

 

[mdwest]

Grabbed a couple of eminentes along with a couple of four kicks at burns downtown in Chattanooga today.... Gonna let them rest for a couple of weeks and then fire one up... Can't wait!

Finally got a chance to sit down and give this little guy some time.

Jon you guys have struck gold with this one. The smaller RG really brightens up the already excellent flavors of this blend. I'm about halfway through it now and I am forcing myself to slow down even more to enjoy it.

If my better half would let me I would be buying a box for sure! Thanks for all the work you guys did to get these out to us! It surely holds up Crowned Heads name high in my book.

 

[JonHuber]

Fox06WRX - So glad you enjoyed...and I agree with you regarding the smaller RG. I've said it before and I'll say it again--the smaller RG (in this blend) focuses and intensifies the flavor profile.

I'm smoking an Eminentes this morning as I type this--ton 'o flavor and structure for a cigar that is 5 1/4 x 44. When I smoke a cigar like this, for the life of me I can NOT wrap my head around the popularity of the 6 x 60s, 7 x 70s, etc., etc.

Hands down one of the most amazing cigars I've smoked recently and not just because I'm a giant Zeppelin fan either. Absolutely cannot wait to try the eminentes size as that RG is most suited to my personal preference. I agree with you also in regards to the popularity of ridiculously large RG sticks. Loving everything you have put out. Thanks a ton!

When i first started i always was looking to get the most tobacco for my buck, if i had only known what i was missing, i think this is how alot of people see it. plus when uneducated consumers see cigars on tv or movies they are almost all churchills and big rg so i think that plays into it.
