La Imperiosa

What happens when a red-hot brand like Crowned Heads has an ultra-premium cigar made in the world-famous My Father cigar factory? La Imperiosa, that's what! Handmade in what many consider to be the finest factory in Nicaragua, La Imperiosa is yet another world-rocking addition to the glorious Crowned Heads portfolio. La Imperiosa consistas of a full-bodied blend of Nicaraguan filler and binder tobaccos and an extra-oily Ecuadorian habano wrapper leaf—the exact same recipe as Crowned Heads' celebrated 2014 limited release of Las Calaveras, only this stick is here to stay as a regular production line. La Imperiosa is relentlessly strong from the get-go, unleashing a typhoon of Nicaraguan pepper across the palate that remains throughout the experience. Bold flavors of sweet nuts and red pepper bombard the taste buds along with a chewy, coffee-like finish and even more spice on the retrohale. La Imperiosa is definitely not for the faint of heart. Named after an old-time Cuban brand, La Imperiosa is the direct result of cigar fans begging for a re-release of a limited edition cigar. Crowned Heads, always eager to please their clientele, responded with not only a re-release, but a permanent addition to their line of cigars. La Imperiosa is for seasoned palates only and pairs beautifully with coffee or dark beer. It's comparable to My Father and San Cristobal and is built to satisfy even the pickiest of connoisseurs. La Imperiosa is more than a cigar—it's a celebration of the rebirth of a cigar that was supposed to be gone forever.
