Crowned Heads La Imperiosa Double Robusto is a Full strength 6 3/8 x 50 cigar with an Ecuador Habano wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler. It opens with a burst of red pepper and settles into a dense, brooding smoke.
It opens big with a burst of red pepper, then eases off the throttle and settles onto the palate with dense, multi layered notes of dark fruit, earth and charred meat. The flavour is at once dense and approachable, with a brooding, muscular structure.
La Imperiosa was originally a Cuban brand from the early 1900s, and its name translates to “the imperative”, or that which is absolutely necessary or required. The artwork and band were inspired by the original Cuban vista and band of years gone by.
At Full strength, Crowned Heads La Imperiosa Double Robusto suits experienced smokers who want a strong cigar with old world character. It rewards a patient, unhurried approach, because a slow pace keeps the smoke cool and lets the flavours show themselves gradually, and it is simple to appreciate on a quiet weekend afternoon or whenever you have time to enjoy it. It suits both a quick break and a longer session, and the flavours stay consistent from the first draw to the last.
Bundle of 10 cigars

This is one of my top five cigars that I’ve tried this year. I’ve had to buy several bundles after realizing how good La Imperiosa is. Warning. This stick is not for newcomers. I have a high tolerance for powerful cigars as I generally smoke 2 sticks back to back in the evening. I’ll tell you this. I can’t smoke 2 if one of them is La Imperiosa in this double robusto format.
