This
cigar is dedicated to the true Man in Black, the one and only Johnny
Cash. The folks over at Crowned Heads are sticking to their musically
themed cigar lines and have decided to honor Cash with their newest
release, Jericho Hill. One of the most influential American
singer/songwriters of all time, Johnny’s checkered past compelled him to
perform one of his most famous tracks – Cocaine Blues, from his
renowned concert at Folsom Prison. This is the ballad of a scorned man
named Willy Lee whose drug induced rage got him arrested by a sheriff
from Jericho Hill. Every aspect of this cigar takes inspiration from the
song.
Jericho Hill boasts a dark and sultry Mexican San Andres
wrapper, which is a nod to both Juarez, Mexico, where Willy Lee was
arrested, and to Johnny’s nickname, “Man in Black.” Nicaraguan
long-fillers and a Nicaraguan binder help to give Jericho Hill some
serious attitude (just like Johnny had). Stuffed to the brim with blasts
of pepper, spice, and leather, this is one full-bodied firecracker.
Only the most potent of blends would suffice in paying tribute to a
legend of Johnny Cash’s stature, and this one fits the bill. RIP, JC.
