This week on the Long Ash Podcast, Nick and Greg are back in the studio together again! While enjoying new cigars from Crowned Heads and Alec and Bradley, the gents discuss a handful of Top 25 Cigar of the Year lists throughout the industry.

From our very own Top 25 list to Cigar Aficionado, Halfwheel, or Cigar Dojo’s Top list, Nick and Greg give their honest thoughts and opinions on what these lists represent and mean to cigar lovers all throughout the industry. If you want to find out more about what they said, watch the video above! We hope you enjoy!

Landing number 20 on Cigar Aficionado’s Top 25 Cigars of the Year in 2020, the Four Kicks Capa Especial from Crowned Heads received a 93 rating from the same publication when it was first released. Another crowning achievement for the Capa Especial was landing in the top 10 for Cigar Dojo’s 2020 Cigar of the Year list.

The tobaccos used within the Capa Especial were first introduced to Jon Huber from EP Carrillo back in 2011. Ten years later, Crowned Heads created this delicious gem. Cloaked in an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper, the Capa Especial has tobaccos from Nicaragua that make up the binder and filler!

Head over to JR’s now to enjoy and rediscover this born-again classic from Crowned Heads.

Another cigar that landed in Cigar Dojo’s 2020 Top Cigars of the Year list, the new smoke from Alec and Bradley is about to take the industry by storm. The Alec and Bradley Kintsugi Alec & Bradley Kintsugi cigars are a top of the line, medium-bodied smoke created by second-generation cigar makers Alec and Bradley Rubin.

Inspired by an ancient Japanese art form, the Kintsugi features Nicaraguan and Honduran tobaccos used for both the fillers and binder. A stunning Honduran wrapper is a finishing touch on this exceptionally smooth tasting smoke.

Flavor notes you’ll experience while smoking the Kintsugi are earth, leather, cinnamon, coffee, and spice. Being one of the hottest and most highly anticipated new releases for 2020, it’s time to head over to JR’s and pick up a box of Kintsugi from Alec and Bradley today!
