Meet the rebel child of Crowned Heads - the Four Kicks Robusto, packed in boxes of 24 sticks at $215.14. This 5x50 Nicaraguan puro rocks an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and fillers, delivering medium-strength vibes perfect for daily smokers. Born as the brand's debut blend in 2011 and rolled at E.P. Carrillo's Dominican factory, it's got that edgy kick inspired by Kings of Leon's "Four Kicks" track. The smooth operator won't knock you out with nicotine, making it a solid choice for newbies cutting their teeth on premium sticks.
Creamy almonds and cedar kick things off, with white pepper tickling the nostrils on retrohale. The draw's smooth like Sunday morning, burning even with that signature box-press ash holding strong. Light brown sugary sweetness keeps the Nicaraguan spice in check.
Leather and damp earth take center stage as the smoke thickens. Dark chocolate chunks melt into the mix, with faint cherry notes playing hide-and-seek. Smoke output stays moderate - enough for decent rings but won't fog up your man cave.
Espresso bitterness creeps in but gets balanced by returning caramel sweetness. The nicotine buzz stays mellow, though newbies might feel it in the fingertips after 45 minutes. Burns razor-straight to the nub if you're stubborn enough to push through.
