The first collaboration between Crowned Heads and Drew Estate has led to another release. After the Buckeye Land, a Ohio state exclusive, they now join forces for the Paniolo 2019 release. The Paniolo is a Hawaii exclusive.
Produced at La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate in Esteli, Nicaragua, the Paniolo measures 48 x 140 mm. The blend includes a Connecticut Boradleaf wrapper, a Mexican San Andres binder, over a Dominicnan and Nicaraguan filler.
Jon A. Huber commented: “We’re extremely excited for this year’s Paniolo Especiale, as it will mark the first time we’ve utilized a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper on this annual Hawaii-Exclusive release since the inaugural edition back in 2015. Insofar as the Paniolo marca is concerned, I feel as thought the 2015 original release has held up as the ‘grail’ blend, and both R. Field Wine and Crowned Heads really wanted to bring the Broadleaf back. While the blend is entirely different than the 2015, I sincerely feel that smokers will find that this year’s rendition stacks up very nicely against the 2015.
Paniolo Especiale 2019 will be packaged in 12 count bundles and will have a suggested retail price of $ 9.80. The total production is limited to 5,000 cigars. It will debut on February 8th, at the Prince Waikiki Hotel. The venue will host an exclusive event with a dinner hosted by R. Field Wine Company.
