Five years after Crowned Heads launched the Hecho Con Corazon LE 2014 (translating to mean “Made with Heart”) as an exclusive for the Hickory Cigar Club’s 20th anniversary, the two companies have partnered once more, now celebrating the 25th anniversary with HCC XXV LE 2019.

HCC XXV LE 2019 (Hickory Cigar Club 25 Limited Edition 2019) has been crafted at Crowned Heads’ most frequent manufacturing partner—Ernesto Perez-Carrillo’s Tabacalera La Alianza S.A. factory in the Dominican Republic. Only 300 boxes of 10 cigars have been rolled, using a singular 5½” x 56 box-pressed format. The cigars will first debut at a special anniversary dinner on May 15th, with any remaining stock becoming available through Tinder Box Cigars South Park (Charlotte, NC) on May 17th.

When Craig Cass approached Mike (Conder) and I last year with the idea of creating a 25th Anniversary cigar, we were excited for the opportunity, but we felt that rather than simply re-treading the 2014 blend we wanted to create something entirely new, unique, and exciting for the club. To do justice to one of the oldest active clubs in the country, we went straight to Ernesto and jumped in with both feet. We feel that the result is a top-notch expression of Sumatra (wrapper) leaf that is not only bold with excellent structure, but that retains the signature balance and complexity that Ernesto Perez Carrillo has become known for.Jon Huber, Crowned Heads co-founder

HCC XXV LE 2019 features an all-Nicaraguan filler/binder, topped with an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper leaf. The cigars will sell for $109 per 10-count box.
