JR Cigar is bringing a modern, upscale flair to one of their most popular budget lines. The \u201cCrafted By\u201d series has always brought the JR customer interesting and unique collaborations with some of the industry\u2019s finest manufacturers.<\/p>\n
Now with this new iteration \u2013 Crafted by JR: Crowned Heads \u2013 the JR team is elevating the original concept, while also showcasing the talents of the team.<\/p>\n
Each Crafted By JR release will focus on a collaboration with a different manufacturer, but unlike most private labels, will be built from the ground up by the JR Cigar team. From the name and logo design, to packaging and the blend profile, every step of the cigar creation process has been planned, developed and executed by the JR team. And for the first Crafted By JR cigar, we turned to one of the most sought-after manufacturers in the industry \u2013 Crowned Heads.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs we showed with our Pure Origin line, we at JR Cigar are capable of far more than simply being one of the world\u2019s most reliable retailers,\u201d says Brad Winstead, CEO of JR Cigar. \u201cI\u2019m excited to begin working with this incredibly talented and knowledgeable team who can take the JR brand much further than ever before. Crafted by JR: Crowned Heads is another amazing example of our ability to create, enhance and expand our brand.\u201d<\/p>\n
Crafted By JR: Crowned Heads is a tremendous inaugural blend for this new concept. Handmade in Nicaragua, this medium bodied blend uses aged Nicaraguan filler from Jalapa, Condega and Ometepe, and is bound together with a rich, Connecticut broadleaf binder, then finished off with a flawless Ecuadorian Habano wrapper. The result is a complex and flavorful cigar with hints of spice, tobacco, sweetness and a rich, creamy finish.<\/p>\n
