Crowned Heads Blood Medicine Limited Edition 2026 B Positive Gordo 5 1/2" x 56

Crowned Heads Blood Medicine Limited Edition 2026 "B Positive" (Gordo)

The Crowned Heads Blood Medicine Limited Edition 2026 "B Positive" marks a significant step towards "heavy gauge" in the series. As the centerpiece of the 2026 PCA show, this 5 1/2 × 56 Gordo vitola is entirely designed to allow for a deep appreciation of its new Nicaraguan Corojo wrapper. With the expansive canvas of a 56 ring gauge, the inherently robust Corojo tobacco is given an unprecedented depth of flavor. It foregoes the Habano wrapper of previous versions, instead pursuing an extremely silky, mellow, and highly cohesive sensory experience through a more complex blend, showcasing the balance and oily richness characteristic of Cuban cigars.

【Authoritative Ratings & Professional Reviews】

• 2026 Industry Outlook: As Crowned Heads' flagship limited edition for 2026, this model has been highly praised in pre-tastings for its exceptionally Cuban-like flavor profile. Its 56 ring gauge construction not only delivers a massive volume of smoke but also, through ideal draw feedback, ensures that every puff leaves a clear, oily texture in the mouth.
• Veteran Writer's Review: "The B Positive 2026 maintains an exceptionally delicate palate even in its large size, transitioning smoothly from rich meaty notes to deep nutty creaminess, demonstrating the top-tier construction of the TacaNicsa factory."

【Tasting Notes: The Oily Aesthetic of a 56 Ring Gauge】

First Third: Upon lighting, the low smoke temperature facilitated by the 56 ring gauge quickly locks in flavor resolution. It immediately erupts with the Corojo wrapper's signature black pepper spice and heavy meaty notes. The draw is moderate, and the smoke density is extremely high, displaying a silky texture that unfurls like satin, revealing layers from the outset.
Second Third: As the burn enters the core, the palate evolves to become even mellower. The core notes shift towards the sweetness of roasted hazelnuts, dark chocolate, and aged cedarwood. Thanks to the Ecuadorian Connecticut seed binder, the smoke is infused with a layer of creaminess reminiscent of high-end cigars, maintaining excellent finesse and balance amidst the voluminous smoke.
Final Third: Towards the end, the flavor density further concentrates. Espresso, nutty oils, and a lingering spicy finish alternate. Due to the precise construction and long-aged filler leaves, the smoke temperature remains ideal even when smoked down to the fingertips, with very low tar sensation. The finish is long, showcasing the sophisticated "power and elegance coexisting" philosophy in Jon Huber's blending logic.

【Product Core Highlights】
