Crown Head Four Kicks Mule Kick LE 2023 (5.8×52 / Box of 10)

This year’s Four Kicks Mule Kick Limited Edition 2023 will use an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper over a Dominican binder and fillers from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. The regular Four Kick blends uses Nicaraguan tobacco for the binder and filler.

Like the other Mule Kick cigars—and the Four Kicks line itself—this cigar is made at Ernesto Perez-Carrillo Jr.’s Tabacalera La Alianza S.A. in the Dominican Republic.

“The cover leaf really drove the blend for this year’s Mule Kick,” said Jon Huber, co-founder of Crowned Heads, in a press release. “When Ernesto (Perez-Carrillo) presented this dark, rich Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper to us last year, I immediately earmarked it for Mule Kick 2023. When we went to validate the Mule Kick 2023 blend with that wrapper, Ernesto presented an alternative version of the blend that took the flavor profile to a different level. As it turned out, that blend incorporated a Dominican binder and some Dominican Piloto Cubano in the filler.”
