Crowned Heads Broadway Toro (6.5×54)

The name is a double play — a nod to Nashville’s legendary lower Broadway entertainment district and a wink at the dark Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper that defines this blend. Leave it to Jon Huber to make that work. Rolled at Nicaragua American Cigars S.A. and debuting Crowned Heads’ bold new branding, the Broadway Toro is the flagship size of one of the most talked-about new releases from the Nashville house.

The Grade A Broadleaf wrapper drapes a Jalapa binder and three-region Nicaraguan filler — Estelí, Jalapa, and Ometepe — delivering a rich, layered ride of cocoa powder, molasses, roasted coffee, dark rye, baking spice, and cedar with a soft but persistent pepper finish. Medium-full in body, impeccably constructed, and priced to make box purchases an easy call. Nashville’s Broadway never smoked this good.
