H-Town Crowned Heads Four Kicks Lancero

Those looking for something a little bit more mellow (but still sophisticated) will find a lot to love in the H-Town Crowned Heads Four Kicks Lancero. This medium-bodied cigar holds its cards close to the chest, offering few clues on the foot and a clean, almost neutral cold draw.

But once the game gets going and the cigar is lit, the Four Kicks starts to live up to its name, greeting smokers with noticeable pepper notes before quickly settling into a more subtle, creamy flavor profile, with some light juicy/sour notes from the wrapper. But don’t get too comfortable, the “kick” really comes in at the midpoint as the pepper becomes more assertive, playing nicely with some oak and leather on the palate — flavors that grow fuller and more delicious as the cigar burns.

This medium-bodied cigar plays nicely with bourbons and scotch, but it’s relaxed character also makes it a great choice with a good light beer.
