Taking its name from a key location in Johnny Cash\u2019s rendition of \u201cCocaine Blues\u201d, Jericho Hill is described by Crowed Heads as \u201cJericho Hill is a hedonistic blend of the best Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos, resulting in a rich and robust taste profile that is focused, potent, and complex.\u201d Upon reading their decadent description, I am more than eager to try this cigar.<\/p>\n<p>Prelight: The first thing I notice about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.emersonscigars.com\/cat\/1516\/Jericho-Hill-by-Crowned-Heads.aspx#.VAc1ZldwWRo\" title=\"Jericho Hill\" target=\"_blank\"><font color='4684b2'>Jericho Hill<\/font><\/a> is (obviously) the wrapper, which has a rich cocoa hue and an even tone. The wrapper\u2019s ideal shade provides an excellent contrast to the matte black band, consisting of antique eggshell white trim and lettering. The construction of Jericho Hill OBS is just as flawless as its appearance with even firmness throughout with a perfectly executed cap. After a quick removal of the cap, my senses are greeted with an open draw and a rich sweet tobacco note with a light finish.<\/p>\n<table><a href=\"http:\/\/www.emersonscigars.com\/cat\/1516\/Jericho-Hill-by-Crowned-Heads.aspx#.VAc1ZldwWRo\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/emersonscigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/jh1.jpg\" alt=\"Jericho Hill\" width=\"400\" height=\"100\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-6148\" srcset=\"https:\/\/emersonscigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/jh1.jpg 400w, https:\/\/emersonscigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/jh1-300x75.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/table>\n<p>1\/3: Jericho Hill begins its quest in a very smooth and gradual fashion. The first third of the cigar opens with medium notes of cocoa with a short-lived black tea note, giving the cigar an almost coffee cake finish. This finish is only found in the very beginning as a mild pepper note begins to emerge by the middle of the first third. By the end of this portion of Jericho Hill, the spice notes have blended superbly with the earlier cocoa notes creating a balanced medium bodied cigar.<\/p>\n<table><a href=\"http:\/\/www.emersonscigars.com\/cat\/1516\/Jericho-Hill-by-Crowned-Heads.aspx#.VAc1ZldwWRo\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/emersonscigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/jh2.jpg\" alt=\"Jericho Hill 2\/3\" width=\"400\" height=\"100\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-6149\" srcset=\"https:\/\/emersonscigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/jh2.jpg 400w, https:\/\/emersonscigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/jh2-300x75.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/table>\n<p>2\/3: With the flavors mixing perfectly by the second third, Jericho Hill continues to provide a very enjoyable smoking experience. This portion of the cigar sees the introduction of a mild leather note noticeable on the retrohale, which can be attributed to the cigar\u2019s blend of Nicaraguan binder and filler with a Mexican wrapper.<\/p>\n<table><a href=\"http:\/\/www.emersonscigars.com\/cat\/1516\/Jericho-Hill-by-Crowned-Heads.aspx#.VAc1ZldwWRo\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/emersonscigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/jh3.jpg\" alt=\"The End of Jericho Hill\" width=\"400\" height=\"100\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-6150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/emersonscigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/jh3.jpg 400w, https:\/\/emersonscigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/jh3-300x75.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/table>\n<p>3\/3: The Jericho Hill finishes with many of the same notes found in the second third of the cigar. The pepper, cocoa and leather elements continue to delight and amaze right down of the very end. Overall, Jericho Hill is an excellent choice for fans of medium to full bodied cigars with rich notes that remain balanced and never become overpowering.
