Last year, Crowned Heads released the Four Kicks Capa Especial, a blend that was one of the final contenders for the original Four Kicks, but didn't make the original cut. Now that blend is coming in a new limited figurado vitola for 2021, Águilas. The Águilas viotla goes back to the Cuban Romeo y Julieta Águilas in the 1960's that was later discontinued in the 1970's. "Águila" translates to Eagle in English.
Crowned Heads has reached an exclusive distribution agreement with Media Rueda for Belgium and Luxembourg. As of today, Crowned Heads cigars will be available in Belgium and Luxembourg through Media Rueda.
“Calaveras will be an annual release that is a respectful homage to those who have passed away in the year before,” Crowned Heads co-founder Jon Huber told Cigar Aficionado. “Rather than a symbol of sadness or death, it’s intended to be a celebration of their lives and remembrances.”

Nashville, TN, has seen a dramatic increase in growth over the last few years. In 2018, Nashville was ranked as the 8th fastest growing large city in the United States. Many long-time Nashville residents miss the 'old Nashville' that was around before the gentrification and construction throughout the city. It was with this 'old Nashville' in mind that Crowned Heads has made the "Wabash Cannonball" exclusively for Casa de Montecristo, Nashville.
Crowned Heads has announced the Four Kicks Capa Especial Lancero LE 2022. This is the first lancero the company has made since the Four Kicks Maduro Lancero in 2018.
