Cigar News: Crowned Heads Announces Mule Kick LE 2020

The original Mule Kick debuted back in 2012 as a limited extension to the Four Kicks line. It used a higher priming Habano wrapper and a slightly tweaked internal blend. Production was limited to 5,000 sticks. That original Mule Kick blend was be re-released in 2017, and then there were subsequent releases in 2018 and 2019 featuring Connecticut Habano maduro and Ecuador Sumatra wrappers respectively.

Today, Crowned Heads has announced the 2020 version, dubbed”Four Kicks Mule Kick LE 2020.” The Mule Kick LE 2020 uses the same internal tobaccos as previous editions but uses a Nicaraguan (Jalapa) wrapper. “The wrapper we’ve selected to utilize on the Mule
Kick 2020 is very special,” said Crowned Heads co-founder, Jon Huber. “I first experienced this leaf on a cigar in 2016 that Ernesto (Perez-Carrillo) gave me to try at that year’s IPCPR trade show and I immediately was impressed; that cigar would eventually be released later as the EPC Encore line. We went on to use this wrapper on a 2017 limited edition (Paniolo Especiale 2017) and I’m very excited to once again feature it on this year’s Mule Kick LE.”

2,500 boxes of 10 were made for this release. Each cigar sells for $11.25. and is rolled under supervision from E.P. Carrillo at Tabacalera La Alianza, S.A. in Santiago. Mule Kick LE 2020 will ship in July.
