About this cigar
Crowned Heads Four Kicks arrived in 2011 as a bold statement from the Louisville, Kentucky - based blender: a Nicaraguan puro with no pretense and no apologies. The robusto format captures the blend's defining character, a medium-plus smoke with layered complexity that builds rather than overwhelms. Expect a foundation of cedar and dark fruit, with waves of black pepper and subtle cocoa emerging in the second third as the burn accelerates. What sets Four Kicks apart is its consistency and approachability for a Nicaraguan of this weight. The blend balances strength with refinement, making it equally suited to an evening lounge session or the post-dinner ritual after a substantial meal. The robusto's proportions allow the flavors to develop without overstaying their welcome, typically running seventy to eighty minutes of steady, even burn. For lounge operators and serious retailers, the 24-count box provides strong velocity appeal. Four Kicks holds shelf authority without demanding a premium price point, and the Crowned Heads name carries enough credibility to justify inventory commitment. This is the cigar you stock for customers who know what they want and aren't interested in apologies.
