Crowned Heads Décimo 2026: New Sizes & Price

Crowned Heads is bringing Décimo back for 2026 with three brand-new vitolas, expanding a release that started as a one-off 10th-anniversary tribute to the brand's flagship Las Calaveras EL 2014 blend. Here's what's confirmed about the sizes, the blend, and when to expect it on shelves.

The short answer

Décimo returns in three sizes: a 6" x 50 (D50), a 5" x 52 (D52), and a 5⅝" x 54 (D54), built on an Ecuadorian Habano Oscuro wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan filler grown by the Garcia family. It's rolled at My Father Cigars S.A. in Estelí, Nicaragua, the same factory behind Crowned Heads' flagship Las Calaveras line. MSRP runs $14.95 to $16.95 per cigar depending on size, packed in 10-count boxes, with 2,500 boxes made per vitola (75,000 cigars total across the release). Shipping to retailers starts September 2026.

Why three sizes instead of one

The original Décimo launched in 2024 as a single-vitola tribute marking Las Calaveras EL 2014's tenth year on the market. Expanding to three sizes for 2026 turns a one-time collector's item into something closer to a standing line extension, and the size spread is deliberate rather than arbitrary: the D52 at 5" x 52 is the shortest smoke and the cheapest of the three at $14.95, the D50 at 6" x 50 sits in the middle on both length and price, and the D54 at 5⅝" x 54 carries the widest ring gauge and the highest MSRP. A wider ring gauge slows the burn and packs more filler into a shorter smoke, which typically reads as denser and more concentrated than a longer, narrower vitola built from the same blend, so smokers who found the original release too short a sitting now have two ways to extend it, at opposite ends of the size spectrum.

What the Oscuro wrapper changes

Habano Oscuro wrappers get their color and oil from extra fermentation and curing time, not from a different tobacco varietal, which typically pushes the flavor toward deeper cocoa and dark-fruit notes than a standard Habano wrapper on the same binder-filler combination. Since My Father Cigars S.A. is also the factory behind the standard Las Calaveras EL 2014, a Décimo smoked side-by-side with the original blend is a reasonable way to isolate how much of Décimo's character comes from the wrapper swap versus the underlying Garcia-family filler both releases share. Crowned Heads hasn't published tasting notes beyond the wrapper type, so specifics on strength progression and dominant flavors will depend on early reviews once boxes actually reach retailers.

Buying a small-batch release before reviews land

Décimo's total run (75,000 cigars split three ways) is small enough that independent reviews won't exist until after the September ship date, which puts buyers in the same position they're in with most limited Crowned Heads drops: decide based on the brand's track record and the blend's pedigree, or wait a few weeks for smoke reports before committing to a box. The case for buying blind here is stronger than usual, because Décimo isn't a new blend from an unproven source: it shares a factory and filler with Las Calaveras EL 2014, a release that's already built a reputation over multiple years, so the swing factor is really just how much the Oscuro wrapper shifts the profile. The case for waiting is the size spread itself: with three vitolas at three price points, a single box purchase before reviews exist means picking one size on spec, and getting the ring-gauge-to-price tradeoff wrong is a more expensive mistake on a 10-count box than on a single stick.

How Décimo fits into the wider Crowned Heads lineup

Crowned Heads has built its catalog around a mix of standing lines (Four Kicks, Mil Días) and rotating limited series (Las Calaveras, La Careta), and Décimo sits in the second category: a release meant to be chased in the year it ships rather than restocked indefinitely. That distinction matters for how you should think about availability: a standing line that sells out at one retailer usually shows back up within a season, but a capped limited run like Décimo's 2,500-boxes-per-size ceiling means once a shop's allocation sells through, it isn't coming back. Anyone who's tried to track down a sold-out Las Calaveras vitola in past years already knows this pattern, and it's the main reason to treat the September ship date as a "check retailers early" moment rather than something to revisit whenever it's convenient.

Who this release is for

  • Las Calaveras collectors. Anyone already tracking Crowned Heads' annual Las Calaveras output has a reason to add three new sizes of a blend built on the same factory and filler.
  • Smokers who wanted a bigger or smaller Décimo. The original single-vitola release left no size options; the D50/D52/D54 spread gives both a shorter and a wider alternative.
  • Oscuro-wrapper fans. If darker, more fermented wrappers are your preference over the brand's standard Habano releases, this is a direct way to compare the two within the same series.

What to pair it with

An Oscuro-wrapped, medium-to-full cigar like Décimo tends to do best against a drink that won't get lost in the cocoa and dark-fruit notes a heavier fermentation typically brings out. A dark rum or an aged bourbon both have enough body to match the wrapper without competing against it, while a lighter beer or a delicate coffee risks getting flattened by the smoke rather than complementing it. Since Crowned Heads hasn't published detailed tasting notes for this specific release yet, treat any pairing as a starting point rather than a confirmed match, and adjust once a box is actually in hand and the real profile is clear.
