Crowned Heads Four Kicks Mule Kick LE 2017

Today we have a limited release cigar from Crowned Heads.  The Four Kicks Mule Kick LE 2017.  This cigar has  a dark brown wrapper with a few visible veins and invisible seems.  It comes in at 5 7/8 X 52.  After lighting, the draw is perfect, giving off a good amount of smoke with just the right amount of resistance.  The draw flavors are a slightly bitter coffee and cedar with some potent black pepper.  The finish has some black pepper, cedar, and a dirty earthiness.  The flavors stay on your palate long into the next draw and are at a medium to full in body.  The burn through the first inch is razor sharp.

One and a half inches down and some flavor explosions occur.  The draw still has the coffee, cedar, pepper and earth.... The finish starts with the earth, then a creamy leather takes over.  Every few puffs a sweet tobacco and leather come together with the earth.  The entire flavor profile is starting to get sweeter and spicier in flavor.  Its quite a delicious combo.  The flavors are still staying on the palate into the next draw and are staying steady and a medium to full in body.  The burn remains razor sharp and holds an ash for a full TWO inches!

Three inches in and some more flavors start to join in.  The draw has seen the coffee and cedar drop off.  The black pepper and earth still remain.  The finish flavors still have a creamy leather, earth, sweet tobacco and now a hazelnut and coco flavor are starting to come in.  The flavors are still at a medium to full in body and the burn remains razor sharp.  Construction on this cigar has been a thing of beauty.

With just over an inch left a chard cedar and earth are the only flavors that still remain.  The cigar started to get warm and mushy, I sat it down for the last time at the 1 hour and 20 minute mark.  Overall, this cigar was a flavor bomb.  It burned perfect, drew perfect and agave out GREAT flavors.  Very impressive.
