  • Cigar Review – Le Carême Pastelitos LE 2023 by Crowned Heads

    As far as track records are concerned, the Le Carême line from Crowned Heads has a pretty damn perfect one with The Tuesday Night Cigar Club. In 2019 we reviewed the Le Carême Canonazo on Episode 94 and it blew our collective socks off. So much so that it...
