Crowned Heads has announce details for the latest version of their limited edition Four Kicks Mule Kick cigar, and for the first time, will be shown off at the PCA trade show. Another first, the blend has been updated from the previous 6 releases, now using Dominican tobaccos in place of some that were previously Nicaragua.
The cover leaf really drove the blend for this yers Mule Kick. 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.

The original Four Kicks Mule Kick (2012 and on) featured a Habano Ecuador wrapper that was decided too dark for the regular production Four Kicks line. It also used a slightly tweaked binder/filler ratio. Each year featured a different wrapper, but now the internals have been changed.
Total production of Four Kicks Mule Kick LE 2023 will be limited to 3,000 10-count boxes, and each cigar will have an MSRP of $12.95. The line is rolled at Tabacalea La Alianza, SA, in
Santiago, Dominican Republic, under the supervision of Ernesto Perez-Carrillo. Four Kicks Mule Kick LE 2023 will begin shipping in August.
