The Crowned Heads Broadway Epicure is a premium, regular-production cigar with a dual meaning. Its name pays tribute to the famous neon-lit Lower Broadway entertainment district in Crowned Heads' hometown of Nashville, Tennessee, while also serving as a direct nod to the dark, oily Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper used to craft it.
The Broadway line is also notable as the first release to showcase Crowned Heads' updated brand portfolio redesign, featuring a new main logo and dedicated blend bands.
First Third: The cigar opens with a restrained, smooth introduction: sweet tobacco, buttered bread, and a rich creaminess, backed by deep cocoa and espresso notes. A punchy white or black peppercorn spice comes through strongly on the retrohale, yet it remains well-balanced and rounded rather than uncomfortably sharp.
Second Third: Moving into the middle section, the body intensifies significantly. The dark Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper takes centre stage, introducing a gooey, molasses-like sweetness that heavily coats the tongue. The smoke becomes oilier and meatier, introducing notes of salted walnut, rich leather, and oak. The pepper note begins to transition from white pepper to a warmer baking spice or cinnamon profile, while a slightly dry earthiness starts to emerge in the background.
Final Third: In the final third, the sweetness fades, allowing a drier, dark earth and toasted cedar to take complete control of the profile. Pepper becomes a bit of a wildcard here—ramping back up in intensity to deliver a heavy, dense finish. While reviewers from Halfwheel noted that the complexity simplifies towards the end, the smoke develops a deep profile resembling dark roast coffee, toasted malt, and rich minerals to close out the experience.
