Crowned Heads Sampler

The cigar brand Crowned Heads was founded in 2011 by four former employees of CAO and its parent company STG (Scandinavian Tobacco Group):

  • John Huber (former Director of Lifestyle Marketing at CAO)
  • Mike Conder (former Senior Vice President of Marketing at CAO)
  • Michael Trebing (former Creative Media Manager at CAO)
  • Nancy Heathman (former Graphic Designer at CAO)

Since then, this team has specialized in producing small batches for both regular production and exclusive releases for individual retailers. Initially, all cigars under this brand were manufactured at Tabacalera La Alianza S.A. by Ernesto Perez-Carrillo in the Dominican Republic. As a second manufacturing partner, the "crowned heads" now also collaborate with Don Pepin Garcia and his Tabacalera My Father Cigars in Estelí, Nicaragua.

The best-known American cigar blog, Halfwheel, named Crowned Heads "Company of the Year" in 2014. The importer for Germany is our fellow cigar retailer Dalay from Saarbrücken.
