Crafted by Crowned Heads exclusively for Casa de Montecristo at our Nashville location, this love letter from an incredible, Nashville-based cigar company and retailer is chock full of details that makes it a must have for those who love – love the region, love Crowned Heads, love collecting limited edition releases or simply love a great cigar with a powerful story behind it. Said Jon Huber, the co-founder of Crowned Heads in a press release: “When we were approached to create an exclusive cigar for CDM Nashville, I immediately wanted to use the opportunity to pay tribute to a Nashville that is gone but not forgotten. Wabash Cannonball evokes that old Nashville vibe and the new world blend is one that will take the cigar enthusiast for a nice, long, flavorful ride.”Wabash Cannonball is a reference to a popular song that was covered by the likes of Bing Crosby and Woody Guthrie, and then became a popular roller coaster ride in the former Opryland USA theme park. Besides anniversary cigars, exclusive releases in which a retailer and cigarmaker share common ground often produce the best and most beautiful looking cigars in the industry. The Wabash Cannonball is no exception. This combination of Mexican San Andres wrapper around binder and filler from Nicaragua, has a chocolate bar look, with the dark brown texture contrasting a dual band featuring eye-popping gold and copper tones. “To once again be partnered with Crowned Heads to bring some of Nashville’s rich history to shelves is exciting,” said Brad Winstead, then the CEO of Casa de Montecristo and now the CEO of JR Cigar. “Jon, Mike and the whole Crowned Heads family are always working in creative ways to tell a story with each project, and I think once again Jon has done just that with ‘Wabash Cannonball’.”The flavors here are of almond, cocoa, black pepper and zesty spice. In concert with the Nicaraguan filler tobacco, this smoke is aggressive but not overpowering; the perfect combination with a whiskey-based cocktail, a dark espresso or a juicy IPA.
