The Cigar: Crowned Heads TAA 2022 The Lost Angel

The Specs:
Wrapper: Mexican San Andrés

Country of Origin: Nicaragua
Strength: Medium
Size: 5.75" x 52

Shipping: US & Canada addresses only

Due Date: August 25, 2022

The Hype:
The Crowned Heads The Lost Angel TAA 2022 cigar is the third release of this sought-after exclusive premium cigar. The Lost Angel is a line extension to the Angel's Anvil brand. It features a dark red Mexican San Andres maduro wrapper that cloaks an Ecuadorian binder and a filler composed of leaves from the Dominican Republic and from two regions in Nicaragua. Once lit, you'll lose yourself in this medium-strength robusto's complexity of flavors and bold intensity. The cigars are handmade at the Tabacalera Pichardo factory in Nicaragua (home to such Crowned Heads brands as Juárez, Mil Días, and Serie E). Only 1,000 boxes of 20 cigars per box were made.

The Reviewers:
Initially, volunteers should be Veteran status or higher and not doing the August review. This review will be due by August 25, so please, take into account your summer vacation schedule and only volunteer if you are prepared to turn it in on time. If you are interested, please indicate so in the forum below and ninfiction will make the final selection.

Note[/i]: 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 initiative in place.

Thanks again to ninfiction for providing the cigar. And thank you to the reviewers.

Sorry Brian. No excuse for me forgetting. I just saw the cigar in my humidor and realized I messed up. I will still do my review for Geeks. I do appreciate you letting me in. Truly sorry I dropped the ball.
