The Belgian Blue is a breed of cattle from Belgium known not only for its strength, but for its lean hyper sculpted muscular physique which is termed "double-muscling. The double muscling phenomenon is a genetic condition resulting in increased number of muscle fibers known as hyperplasia.
It is in this spirit of strength that Crowned Heads is excited to introduce an all-new blend in a limited edition format, the Crowned Heads Belgian Blue LE 2024. "Many modern era cigars are intentionally blended to be strong," commented Crowned Heads co-founder Jon Huber, "but the Belgian Blue was blended to be full in flavor first, full in body second, and the resulting intensity and strength were a by-product of the blend. I'd classify the profile as intense in terms of spice, especially in the retrohale and strong in terms of body but not in a nicotine-nausea-inducing sort of manner. The blend is comprised of 75% ligero with a textured base, meaning that the base leaves selected have more thickness and texture, resulting in more strength and better combustion. The profile is simultaneously strong and smooth."
Belgian Blue is a 6" by 54 box-pressed cigar comprised of a muscular blend of Nicaraguan and Dominican tobaccos with an Ecuadorian binder and is finished with a dark Mexican (San Andres) cover leaf. The Belgian Blue flavor profile is spice forward yet seamlessly balanced, retaining a raw and robust character, while maintaining a refined elegance that exudes layers of pepper, leather, oak, and molassest notes.
Packaged in 12 count boxes, Belgian Blue gold global production is limited to 2,000 total boxes. Crowned Heads Belgium Blue LE 2024 is manufactured at the TacaNicsa factory in Esteli, Nicaragua and shipped in November 2024.
