Those attending PCA23 in Las Vegas from July 7-11 can expect another exclusive release courtesy of Crowned Heads. The company has shared details of its PCA23 Exclusive–Le Pâtissier No. 2. This cigar is presented in a classic 6 1/8 x 52 torpedo and features a bold and rich Broadleaf-based blend that has helped put Le Pâtissier on the map.
In a press release, Crowned Heads co-founder Jon Huber commented: “It’s a rarity that we’ve released a figurado in our portfolio. To this day, the only torpedo we’ve produced on a regular production basis goes back to our original Four Kicks Piramide dating back to 2011. Having said that, I’ve always been enamored with the classic torpedo vitola since I began smoking cigars almost thirty years ago, like the Montecristo No. 2 and the H. Upmann No. 2, both considered classic Cuban cigars. We always strive to bring something special to our PCA Exclusive, so we felt the La Pâtissier No. 2 was a good fit.”
This cigar has a Nicaraguan binder, filler tobaccos from Nicaragua and Costa Rica and is finished with a Grade A Dark Connecticut (Broadleaf) wrapper. Le Pâtissier No. 2 is handcrafted at Nicaragua American Cigars, S.A. (NACSA) in Estelí, Nicaragua. This cigar is expected to ship in August 2023. Le Pâtissier is available in four sizes: Senadores, 6 1/8 x 48; No. 50, 4 3/8 x 50; Canonazo, 5 7/8 x 52; and No. 54, 5 3/8 x 54.
Le Pâtissier No. 2 will come packaged in black boxes, a first for this cigar line. Retailers looking to bring this unique cigar to their store must attend PCA23, where they can order it. You can register to attend PCA23 at pcashow.org.
