Team Cigar Review: Crowned Heads Four Kicks Maduro Robusto
The Crowned Heads Four Kicks Maduro is balanced, nuanced and delivers very consistent flavors from light to nub. This is one that will be on my shopping list in the near future.

A delicious medium bodied cigar that leaves a very creamy toasted caramel flavor on your palate. The cigar becomes milder with every inch and burns perfectly under its EPC construction. The Sumatra wrapper has a very natural and oily sheen much like the leather on a baseball glove and has a triple cap. Cuban size, Dominican Quality, and the incredible flavor of Nicaraguan tobaccos.
While I wouldn't call the Montecristo Ciudad de Música Robusto a true collaboration between blenders, it is a collaboration between brands and I would say it worked well. If you're a fan of Crowned Heads or E.P. Carrillo, it's a must try and this should be a good attraction for people to the Montecristo brand. This is a cigar well done.
Crowned Heads will debut the fifth installment of "The Angel's Anvil" series at the upcoming 50th Annual Tobacconists Association of America (TAA) convention and meeting, to be held at Casa de Campo in La Romana, Dominican Republic, April 29- May 3.
This Limited Edition is dedicated to the Le Careme brand, and was inspired by the iconic Belicosos Fino (5 1/2 x 52) vitola. Unlike the regular production Le Careme brand which is trunk-pressed, the Belicosos Fino LE 2018 retains the round format for which the vitola is best known for via the Bolivar (CUBA) Belicosos Finos.
I'm pleasantly surprised by this cigar. Luckily, with the talented blending skills of Ernesto Perez-Carrillo (and Jhonys Diaz), this brand is worth giving a serious look. A definite fly under the radar cigar that I will happily smoke more of in the future.
If you like medium strength and a woody profile, this cigar is definitely one to check out. I could definitely see myself smoking more of these.
This cigar did not have many transitions or complexities but had all the components of a tasty cigar; sweetness, spice, wood, body and good construction.
