Thru a perfect draw, spectacular smoke production comes my way delivering earthy sweetness and espresso tobacco flavors with an undertow of chocolate coming thru. From the retrohale, a decent amount of black pepper spice rounds out the flavors well.
I’m approaching the last third and this Jericho Hill Willy Lee (BP Toro) by Crowned Heads is singing my tune… Dark coffee (espresso), chocolate, and… leather tobacco flavors have entered the picture!
I think I’ll make sure that I have plenty of these in the TupperDor from now on. With three years of TupperDor age on this, it smoked superbly!
Smoke Time: 90 minutes

6 months is way too long in between smoking the Jericho Hill Willy Lee (BP Toro) by Crowned Heads. I have to remember to bring this out more often.
Dark rich creamy smooth tobacco flavors and smoky!… I’ll be revisiting this one again soon

At first glance, this Crowned Heads, Jericho Hill, Jack Brown (Robusto) vitola is a huge 56 ring-gauge. Let’s see what it delivers. I’m looking forward to the Mexican San Andres wrapper on this large cigar.
This feels and looks like a large ring gauge (56) for a Robusto so; I had to punch another hole next to the first since the draw was still too firm for my liking. We’ll see how long I want to give my cheeks a workout.
The flavors are perfect, right in my wheelhouse. I’m digging this Crowned Heads Jericho Hill so far.
At the end of the first third, I straight cut my triple cap as I become tired of struggling with the draw. More delicious smoke appears but as I get down to the last couple of inches… the difficult draw could be the fatal flaw for this tasty cigar, but it could be this particular cigar. I’ll have to try another. I’m glad I have more.
At the final third, there were no transitions I could detect; still a very nice experience. I think the next Jericho Hill cigar I purchase will maybe have a smaller ring gauge.
Cigar Sensei says this will be a cigar to lay down and age; it will improve over time.
