Three years ago at the end of 2011, Crowned Heads launched its inaugural line, Four Kicks. Inspired by a song of the same name by Kings of Leon, Four Kicks initially launched with four sizes. Over the next year the line was expanded with two more sizes and a limited edition was released almost exactly one year later. The limited edition, called the Four Kicks Mule Kick, was inspired by some darker-than-normal Ecuadorian habano wrapper leaf and featured a little stronger ligero to accommodate for the wrapper difference. The results were a cigar that was priced well, moved quickly and was well received by consumers. When I initially reviewed the cigar I could only agree and rated the cigar well, which the rest of the halfwheel staff agreed enough with to place the Mule Kick in the 2012 halfwheel 25. Since then I’ve smoked the rest of the Four Kicks line, and while I enjoy them, they’re just different enough from the Mule Kick to make me wish I had more than the single Mule Kick remaining in my humidor.
