The Cigar: Crowned Heads LE 2015 Mason Dixon Project Southern Edition
The Hype - Halfwheel
http://halfwheel.com/crowned-heads-mason-dixon-project-returning-for-2015/97722The Mason-Dixon Project—Limited Edition is returning, but with completely new blends.
As with last year's inaugural release from Crowned Heads, there will be two different blends, one sold in stores residing in states north of the Mason-Dixon line, and one sold in states that are located south of the line. Blend-wise, The Mason-Dixon Project—Limited Edition 2015 Northern Edition, sports an Ecuadorian habano wrapper covering binder and filler tobaccos from Nicaragua while the Southern Edition incorporates a Connecticut broadleaf wrapper and Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos.
"Last year's MDP LE inaugural release was very well-received; especially the Northern Edition which utilized a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper," Crowned Heads co-owner Jon Huber told halfwheel in an email. "So for this year's release, we wanted to take that blend's 'base' and turn the volume up a bit for the Southern Edition. This year's Northern Edition sports a beautiful dark-brown Habano wrapper and is a bold yet balanced blend that combines sweet and spice. We also box-pressed both cigars this year, in order to further differentiate them from the 2014 MDP LE."

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.
