Crowned Heads Jericho Hill 12 Honest Men

Today we have the Crowned Heads Jericho Hill 12 honest men.  This cigar has a dark chocolate colored wrapper with invisible seems and a few visible veins through the entire length of the cigar.  Its very rustic looking.  It measures in at 7 1/2 X 38.  After lighting, the draw is snug and is giving off limited smoke output.  The initial draw flavors are black pepper flavor and tingle sensation.  A sweet cedar is also present.  The finish has more black pepper and continues with the sweet cedar.  A gritty earth is also present on the finish.  The body is at a mild to medium and the flavors leave the palate fairly quickly.  The burn line is razor sharp.

Two inches down and the same flavors are present on both the draw and the finish.  The draw remains snug and smoke output is still limited.  I gave the end another clip with my cutter and I have started to roll the cigar around a little bit in hopes to get more smoke to come out.  The body is still at a mild to medium and the burn continues to be razor sharp.

Three and a half inches down and 30 minutes in. WOW! The draw has completely opened up and smoke output is now above average.  The profile has almost completely changed.  The draw still has some nice black pepper flavor and tingle sensation along with a gritty earth.  The finish has a sweet vanilla note, followed by earth and leather.  The body is up to a medium to medium full.  The flavors stay on the palate long into the next draw.  The burn remains razor sharp!

Four inches down and more flavors have started to come out.  The draw still has the black pepper flavor and tingle on every puff.  The finish is a dark earth with some black coffee and coco notes.  A leather comes back in every few draws.  A dark chocolate note has started to pop up every few draws as well.  The cigar is starting to impress!  I loved the OBS size and was very excited to see what the lancero version would produce, so far is right on point with the OBS but the flavors seem to be more intensified.  The body is at a medium to full and the burn is still perfect.


Four and a half inches down and the only change is that a natural sweetness has started to come back in on the finish.  The dark chocolate and coffee notes are still present and the leather has started to tail off.  The draw continues to put off good smoke output and the burn is still excellent.

With just over two inches left and 1 hour and 35 minutes in I sat the cigar down for the last time.  Sometimes you get a plugged draw with cigars.  It just happens.  Its a handmade product and sometimes you have to expect draw issues to occur.  Luckily for me it opened up and produced great flavors!  My hats off to the team at Crowned Heads and My Father Cigars for coming up with another great smoke.
