BOTL - Wow...I was kinda taken aback by the title of this thread (even though my name is spelled "JON" and not "JOHN"--lol!).
I'd like to go 'on record' with 2 comments here:
1. ALL of the credit for ALL of these cigars goes to the factories in which they are produced, i.e., My Father Cigars (Esteli, Nicaragua), and Tabacalera La Alianza (Santiago, DR). I've always said that a brand (or brand-owner, for that matter) is only as good as the factory in which it's produced, and the materials (tobaccos) with which they're produced. We are very fortunate to be working with 2 of the best--if not THE best--houses in the premium cigar industry.
2. I don't think we've produced our 'best' cigar yet. Later this year, we are planning to release a 2015 'preview' of a 2016 brand that I am /very/ high on right now. This particular cigar will be Crowned Heads first blend to utilize 100% Nicaraguan tobaccos. I won't say much more than that...but stay tuned.
Thanks for all the kind words, and continued support.
Cheers!
