As for the blend, it uses a shade-grown wrapper from Jalapa, Nicaragua, a binder that is also from Jalapa, and fillers from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. Crowned Heads says that the filler tobaccos are all aged for at least three years. In addition to using aged filler, Crowned Heads says that just seven pairs at Perez-Carrillo Jr.’s Tabacalera La Alianza S.A. factory are allowed to make the Crowned Heads La Vereda cigars. Furthermore, those workers were asked to slow down and roll cigars at just 60 percent of their usual production rate.
