Crowned Heads Four Kicks Corona Gorda

The cigar brand "Four Kicks" was founded in 2011 by former employees of the CAO brand, which is now part of the publicly traded Scandinavian Tobacco Group (STG). The four founders introduced their first line to the U.S. market. They may have been inspired by the song of the same name by Kings of Leon for the series name, which addresses themes of loyalty and perseverance. The wrapper, a Sun Grown from Ecuador, as well as the binder and filler, all come from Nicaragua.

The inspiring story behind the "Four Kicks" cigars

Production takes place at the Tabacalera La Alianza, led by renowned industry expert Ernesto Perez-Carillo (EPC Cigars). These are medium-bodied cigars with pronounced woody and leathery notes. As always, Ernesto stands for impeccable craftsmanship.
