The Cigar: Crowned Heads La Imperiosa Double Robusto (6.3 x 50)

The Hype: Las Calaveras 2014 was a limited edition blend that is widely considered as a modern classic. All but impossible to find these days, Crowned Heads listened to the cries for more and resurrected the exact same blend in a regular production cigar...meet La Imperiosa. Hailing from the My Father factory in Nicaragua, this hearty blend comes lovingly dressed in an oily and dark Ecuadoran Habano Oscuro wrapper concealing a choice blend of Nicaraguan long-fillers. La Imperiosa is full-bodied and oh so delicious with highlights of red pepper, fruit, earth, and leather. The complex and rich notes are perfectly balanced and will have your palate begging for more.

The Reviewers: To be chosen by Doug... Note: US delivery addresses only.

Criteria: Volunteers must have at least minimum 10 point feedback rating and not have done a Geek Critique in April or are slated for one in May.

Due Date: May 24, 2016.

Note: A reviewer who posts their review late will receive neutral feedback. A reviewer who does not post at all will receive negative feedback. There are always exceptions to the rule and a reasonable excuse for tardiness or a no show will be respected and thus not counted against the reviewer. Our sponsoring members and our administrators make the choice of who is to participate in any particular Geek Critique and can be better informed of their choices with this new initiative in place.

Thanks again to Doug for taking this one on and providing the cigar. THANKS!! And happy smokin'  :cigarguy:
