Crowned Heads Four Kicks Corona Gorda Review
Let’s face it, everyone has a rebellious streak in them. Whether you’re 16 and “We’re not going to take it” is your anthem or you’re a cigar exec that’s tired of corporate America. Well, Jon Huber, formerly of CAO, recently found his rebellious streak and fortunately for cigar lovers worldwide, the result is the Crowned Heads Four Kicks. “Four Kicks is about turning your back on the corporate machine and making your own rules.” Is how Huber describes his new cigar, which is blended and rolled by Ernesto Perez-Carrillo. The stats on this smoke are as follows: The corona gorda is sized at 5 5/8 x 46, has Nicaraguan binders and fillers wrapped in Ecuadorian Habano and retails for around$7.
Now for the good stuff, the cigar! In the first third, the Four Kicks gives a square kick in the mouth with a lot of spice and earthiness and stays that way up until the end of the first third, to which it mellows out. In the second third, the smoke stays mellow and smooth through the first half of the third, then the spicy flavors pick up again, but not quite as strong. To this point the draw is effortless and the burn is a little crooked, but good.
In the final third, the Four Kicks finished with a mild spiciness and earthiness. Overall, it’s a very smooth, medium bodied cigar with a good burn and effortless draw. A solid three flames on the Mayor’s scale.
Until next time, Happy Smoking!

601 Oscuro Trabuco Review
Before I get into the review, here’s the stats on the 601 Green Label. The Trabuco is a 6 1/8 x 58 and it’s from Nicaragua. It is wrapped in a beautiful Nicaraguan Habano Oscuro wrapper and is filled and binded with Nicaraguan tobacco.
Now for the fun stuff, the smoke. The first third of the 601 Green Label is super strong and very full bodied to the point of you don’t want to smoke one on an empty stomach, which is true of all the cigars in the 601 line. The flavor profile of the Green Label is spicy but definitely has notes of cocoa and coffee. It has a lot of flavor for a big cigar.
The second third remains very strong yet it is very smooth for a full bodied smoke. The spicy flavor remains into the second third, but the cocoa and coffee notes diminish greatly. The burn on this smoke is great and the draw is easy.
The Green Label finishes very smooth, yet never lacked strength. The spiciness remains throughout the entire cigar, while some sweetness comes through in the end. Overall the 601 Green Label is an awesome full bodied cigar, a solid 4 ½ out of 5 flames cigar.
Until next time, Happy Smoking!

Arturo Fuente Hemingway Classic Sun Grown Review
The Hemingway series is one of Fuente’s premier lines that are special because it’s one of the few smokes that are rolled in the old school perfecto shape and up until now have come in either a Cameroon natural or maduro wrapper and uses Dominican filler and binders. The Hemingway Classic is a 7 x 48 Churchill and its sun grown wrapper is almost maduro dark.
I will say that I have had a lot of experience with both the Hemingway Classic natural and Maduro, which is one of the best constructed cigars I have ever smoked. What’s new about the Sun Grown is that in the first third, it is a lot stronger than the maduro and the smoky sweet flavor is more prevalent than in the other two versions.
About half way through the cigar, the smoke transitions to a mellow spicy flavor with some smokiness akin to burning cedar. The draw is tough in the beginning of the smoke, which is common for the perfecto shapes, but by the second third it is nice and effortless. The burn of the Classic S.G. is impeccable, a common trait among Fuentes.
Now the last third of the Classic S.G. was mildly bitter, which was disappointing, but overall still a good smoke. It burned great and the draw was effortless past the first few puffs. Overall I would give the Hemingway Classic Sun Grown 3 out of 5 flames.
Until next time, Happy Smoking!
