"We played Led Zeppelin over the phone. He listened and said — I got it."
— Jon Huber, Co-Founder
Our Story
Two Renegades & A Blank Page.
In 2011, Jon Huber and Mike Conder walked away from CAO Cigars — and the corporate machinery that had swallowed it. With decades of experience and zero interest in playing it safe, they built Crowned Heads from the ground up in Nashville, Tennessee.
The name came from a Professor Marvel wagon in The Wizard of Oz. A bit of nostalgia, a lot of rebellion, and an unwavering belief that tobacco deserved better storytelling.
Every cigar name is a chapter: a rock anthem, a Nashville landmark, a Cash lyric, a Led Zeppelin recording played down a phone line to a master blender. These aren't just smokes. They're stories made tangible.
