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. 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. The cigar is a 4 7/8 x 50 with a pigtail cap, priced at $13 each, $65 for a 5 pack, or $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. Bear Run (Creekside’s Blood Medicine Exclusive) was the creek out back, and US 22 is the road out front.
The public sale starts Thursday, November 12 at 10:00 AM ET at Creekside’s website. Patreon members can buy it starting Monday, November 9. Creekside says text to buy is the fastest way to order once the drop goes live, and the shop will also email a reminder when it is available. That evening, Jon Huber will be at the lounge from 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM ET. RSVP details are on Creekside's events page.
