The newest Crowned Heads PCA exclusive is here! It is only available to those who attended the PCA show in July! The Sfumato in C major is a beautiful 6 ¾ x 48 parejo that uses an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper over an Ecuadorian Sumatran binder and fillers which are from Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, and Peru.
The name Sfumato comes from a painting technique developed by Leonardo Da Vinci. The method involves softening the area between colors to avoid creating sharp lines. This makes it easy for the human eye not to focus on harsh transitions.
“Sfumato is somewhat of a departure for us,” said Jon Huber, the company’s co-founder, in a press release. “I saw where we were heavier in darker wrappers, the medium-to-full lane, and I just wanted something different; I wanted something that would be perfect with a morning cup of coffee or complement an afternoon glass of chilled Rosé. Essentially, the goal was to create a blend with no edges, just a flavor profile that was easily approachable, smooth, and with exquisite balance.” – John Huber said to Halfwheel
