By now, you probably know the story of the Las Calaveras line.

This is the eighth consecutive year that Crowned Heads has released a Las Calaveras, making it one of the longest-running and largest limited edition series of cigars that remains active. The name is based on a zinc etching by José Guadalupe Posada called La Calavera Catrina. The skulls, known as calaveras, have special meaning in Mexican culture as they are the symbol of Día de los Muertos, a Mexican holiday, celebrated Nov. 1-2, in which the living pay tribute to the dead.

That is what Crowned Heads does with each iteration of Las Calaveras. The company places gold coins on each side of the logo with initials, which are used to honor various people close to the company who have passed.

For the first two years of the series, Crowned Heads released three different vitolas—each in 24-count boxes—of a blend that has changed each year. Since 2016, the company has released four sizes each year: three in boxes of 24 and then one that is only offered in a sampler of each of the four vitolas. To date, every Las Calaveras release has been made at My Father Cigars S.A.

This year’s release is the Las Calaveras Edición Limitada 2021 which uses an an Ecuadorian Sumatra oscuro wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and fillers from Nicaragua.

It’s offered in four sizes, including the 6 1/4 x 40 Petit Lancero which is the thinnest Las Calaveras cigar to date and also the first to use a pigtail cap.
