Crowned Heads La Imperiosa Double Robusto
The La Imperiosa Double Robusto is one of Crowned Heads' most dominant specifications. As the permanent successor to the legendary blend of Las Calaveras EL 2014, this cigar represents not only the brand's pursuit of peak quality but also a grand tribute to the Nicaraguan terroir. The Double Robusto specification, with its extended and thicker dimensions (6 3/8 × 50), elongates that signature robustness, offering cigar aficionados a more evolving and longer-lasting tasting experience.

- Origin: Nicaragua (My Father Cigars SA)

Flavor Ladder
Initial notes: Once lit, the deep wrapper of the Habanos Oscuro immediately releases its signature rich aromas of black pepper and dark roast coffee. Compared to the explosive power of the Dukes, the Double Robusto's opening is more grand and powerful, with earthy aromas interspersed with subtle caramel sweetness, instantly establishing the full-bodied structure. Mid-section: Entering the mid-section, due to its longer length, the evolution of flavor layers are fully revealed. Rich aromas of leather, dark chocolate, and roasted spices unfold in layers. The square-pressure process ensures smooth and cooled smoke flow within the channel, allowing this powerful flavor to be accompanied by a velvety smoothness, presenting a sophisticated and complex balance. Finish: The final section reveals unparalleled depth. The aromas of cinnamon and cedarwood gradually intensify, accompanied by the oily texture characteristic of aged tobacco leaves. Even in the last two centimeters, the smoke remains pure and full-bodied, without any impurities, leaving a luxurious aftertaste reminiscent of a rich espresso.
Recommendation reason
- A timeless culinary art: This cigar perfectly replicates the highest-scoring limited-edition blend in Crowned Heads history. Choosing the Double Robusto specification means you can explore this coveted "supreme" flavor at your own pace.
- Exceptional dynamic balance of dimensions: The 50 ring gauge strikes a balance between classic and modern, and with its extended length, it can more delicately showcase the chemical reactions of the wrapper and filler at different stages of combustion than a regular Robusto, making it perfect for a 90-minute sensory dialogue on a quiet night.
- The pinnacle of the Garcia family's rolling expertise: Under the rigorous quality control of the My Father factory, this block-pressed cigar boasts a near-perfect burn line and ash retention. From its deep, glossy appearance to its solid feel, it showcases the refinement of a top-tier luxury cigar in every detail.
The Crowned Heads La Imperiosa Double Robusto is a symphony of resilience and elegance. Its grand size embodies the brand's soul, allowing you to relive that legendary history that shook the cigar world with every wisp of rich smoke.
