Crowned Heads has announced it’s ninth installment to the annual TAA ESP (Exclusive Series Product) line, ‘The Lost Angel TAA Exclusive 2023.
For the first time since 2019, the highly-anticipated Crowned Heads release will be produced at Tabacalera La Alianza, S.A., in Santiago, Dominican Republic.
“Our first TAA Exclusive was released in 2014, working with Ernesto (Perez-Carrillo), and we felt it was time to take it back to where it all began for us,” commented Crowned Heads co-founder, Jon Huber. “I think we spent more time in development of this blend than on any previous TAA release todate. It really began in early 2022 when Ernesto presented this amazingly unique Ecuadorian (Sumatra} hybrid wrapper to us. It was dark and oily, but surprisingly sweet and rich. That was the jumping off point, and from there the blend was in development for the better part of a year.”
The Lost Angel is the prequel story to ‘The Angels Anvil’ TAA Exclusive (2014-2019), and explores the darker side of the original story’s protagonist. The story parallels Huber’s career in the cigar industry. The underlying moral of the story is one of rising from the ashes, and is a reminder that the smallest of seeds needs to first be submerged in dirt, covered in darkness, and it is only then that the seed will struggle to reach the light.
The Lost Angel 2023 will be available exclusively to TAA retail members, and is limited to 1,000 (20-count) boxes. The 6″ x 54 cigar is comprised of filler tobaccos from Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, and Mexico, an Ecuadorian {Sumatra) binder, and is finished with a unique Ecuadorian (Sumatra) Hybrid C9 cover leaf. Manufactured at Tabacalera La Alianzaa, S.A., under the supervision of industry icon, Ernesto Perez-Carrillo, The Lost Angel 2023 will have a suggested retail price of $13.50 per cigar. Shipping will begin at the end of May.
