Crowned Heads Le Careme 96.84 Rating

I smoked a couple of these to be sure, and then I had to buy a box.  That is 24 in a box at around $12.00 a stick.  I typically do not like to spend that much on one cigar unless I want to be smoking them for a while in my rotation.  They had some torpedo's but it looks like they may not be making those any more, but the flavor was no different for these 52 ring cigars.  They have a great taste from start to finish.  You get earth, pepper, and nutty flavor.

JR Cigars says this on their site:

Le Careme cigars, a new premium handmade offering from Crowned Heads, comes from the Ernesto Perez-Carrillo Jr.’s factory in the Dominican Republic, the same factory that produces the Four Kicks, Headley Grange and the J.D. Howard Reserve lines. This medium body cigar features an Ecuador Sumatra binder, aged long filler tobaccos from Nicaragua, and an almost black, Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper with hardly any visible seams. If you were to describe a cigar as a dessert flavor, La Careme would be it, because every draw delivers mouthwatering notes of chocolate, sweet spice, leather, toffee, and caramel. The taste is appropriate considering the smoke pays tribute to Marie Antoine Careme, a pioneer in French cuisine during the 1800s.
