Title was supposed to say "start with"

Looking for advice on CH.

I see it pop up a lot here but I've never even seen one at my B&M.

So I'd like to order some online. But which line? And which Vitola?

My current favorites are Liga UF13/Rats, HE Lanceros, and Joya de Nicaragua CyB lanceros.

Thanks guys. Really enjoying this forum!

Parker, you really can't go wrong with any CH, but one of my favorites is the J D Howard. Usually, Elite in Addison has a good selection of CH.

Any particular violas that yall lean towards?

They don't really appear to have any true narrow Lanceros (my fav)

Jericho hill is a favorite of mine. I haven't had a bad one in any vitola. I love the headly grange too and same thing but the corona gorda is especially good (again imo) *if for some reason you can find a drumstick... it sucks send them immediately to me so I can destroy them and save you from a horrible cigar

Drumstick. Just my luck. Another limited edition lancero to chase after...

Any leads on where I might find some drumsticks? A Google search came back negative.

The JDHR Single Action is a fantastic smoke, and I enjoy it more each time I smoke it. That said, the Four Kicks robusto is the CH that I've smoked the most.

Dude just being honest here... If I had a lead on them they'd be on fire one after the other. Chain smokin style.
But I will say this, head on a swivel. I've found some crazy unicorns by swinging in to random hole in the wall shops on my lunch break for instance.

From my personal experience, the JD Howard Reserve is the bees knees, been through a couple of boxes. Admittedly, I am all over the place now with CH as I have smoked just about everything I can get my hands of from them and the Las Calaveras 2014 if you can find them, will blow you away.

Good luck, the slope is slippery.

I love the La Imperiosa and the Jericho Hill smokes from CH as their regular productions. If you can get any Las Calaveras jump on it!!!

Btw, check cigars international too they're doing a surprise 24 hour 20% off discount on the website. Just not sure if CH is or isn't inlcuded. But worth a shot to look! If anything Famous Smoke always takes good care of us here too!

Jericho Hill is my favorite Crowned Heads. But I'd say just pick one in the size you prefer and give 'em a try. So far I haven't had a bad one yet. Some I like more than others, but not a single one was bad.

I like the La Imperiosa line. Jericho Hill is a good daily smoke.

CH has plans on a regular production lancero, I'm fairly certain.
