When we reviewed the Paniolo Especiale 2015, we noted that theboxegs for the release said “MMXV” somewhat implying that if there was a 2015 release, there might be a 2016 release. Turns out, those suspicions were correct. On Feb. 26, Crowned Heads will launch the Paniolo Especiale 2016, a 5 1/2 x 50 box-pressed robusto extra made exclusively for R. Field Wine Co. of Hawaii. Spot-checking #Paniolo Especiale 2016.

Production is limited to 500 boxes of 12 cigars with a suggested retail price of $8.70.
