Three Iconic brands. All founded in Nashville, Tennessee.
This pack brings together three distinct voices that share a common "hometown" soul, offering a smoke that ranges from traditional power to avant-garde elegance.
1. CAO: The Nashville Pioneer
Before it was a global powerhouse, CAO was born in a Nashville basement. It represents the foundation of the city’s cigar scene.
The Vibe: Bold, innovative, and unapologetic.
The Connection: CAO put Nashville on the map by treating cigar making like a recording session—experimenting with rare tobaccos and striking packaging that feels as iconic as a vintage Gibson headstock.
2. Crowned Heads: The New Standard
Founded by former CAO executives who chose to stay in Nashville to forge their own path, Crowned Heads is the "indie label" that went platinum.
The Vibe: Artisanal, storied, and deeply soulful.
The Connection: Their blends are often inspired by music and Southern grit. Smoking a Crowned Heads cigar feels like sitting in a dimly lit Broadway honky-tonk before the crowds arrive—authentic and rich with character.
3. Principle Cigars: The Sophisticated Songwriter
Rounding out the pack is Principle, the brand that brings a worldly, "New Nashville" sophistication to the table.
The Vibe: Meticulous, eccentric, and incredibly refined.
The Connection: Based in Nashville but with a global palate, Principle reflects the city’s evolution into a cosmopolitan hub. These cigars are complex and layered, much like a perfectly composed symphony.
Why it works: From the historic roots of CAO to the rebellious spirit of Crowned Heads and the polished artistry of Principle, this pack is a masterclass in the Nashville Blend. It’s a tribute to a city that knows how to craft a masterpiece, whether it’s a hit song or a perfect draw.
These guys are awesome! They have a phenomenal selection and are always very helpful and accommodating. I highly recommend them for procuring some of the finest cigars you’ll find anyplace.
