Creekside Cigar Co. and Crowned Heads are releasing US 22, an exclusive cigar named for the road in front of Creekside’s shop in Maineville, Ohio, Sticks ’n’ Stogies reported. Creekside calls it the first Crowned Heads Connecticut in ten years. The blend uses an Ecuador Connecticut wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan filler, in a 4⅞ x 50 size with a pigtail cap, priced at $13 per cigar, $65 for a five-pack and $130 for a box of 10.
Creekside says the project took ten months of blending with Jon Huber and the Crowned Heads team: three sizes were passed around the lounge until one blend kept coming out on top. Crowned Heads calls that process CYOP — carve your own path. Where Bear Run, Creekside’s earlier Blood Medicine exclusive, was named for the creek out back, US 22 is the road out front. The public sale starts today, Thursday, November 12, at 10:00 a.m. ET on Creekside’s website, after a Patreon members’ window that began November 9, and Huber will be at the lounge this evening from 6:00 to 11:00 p.m. ET.
