Alec Bradley Coyol
$137.70 – $189.00Alec Bradley Coyol is named after a plantation of the same name, Coyol Farm.
Brand owner Alan Rubin believes that the Coyol farm produces tobacco of distinction. And this blend surely proves him right!
With attention to detail, there are elements of Coyol tobacco in each part of the cigar.The wrapper is from Coyol, as is one of the binders and part of the filler. The result is a thoroughly enjoyable medium to full bodied smoke. Cigar Aficionado rated this cigar a score of 93. They described it perfectly. ” Malty and rich with a floral quality complemented by layers of cocoa, honey and cloves. The draw and burn are lush and flawless.”
Coyol is probably one of the best cigars you’ve never heard about…until now! Without doubt, it’s another long time winner for Alec Bradley.

Crowned Heads Luminosa
$24.99 – $152.15The Luminosa is another collaboration between Jon Huber and Ernest Perez Carrillo.
While the Luminosa contains a mystery blend of filler and binder leaves, what we do know for sure is that this Crowned Heads cigar is one of the most popular blends the company produces. Setting out to make a mild to slightly medium bodied smoke that’s still packed with flavor and complexity, they definitely succeeded.
Results? Cigar Coop rates it @ 90. Blind Man’s Puff rates it @ 91. Cigar Authority rates it @ 93 and noted reviewer KATMAN gave it a 94. His summary is spot on, ” The Luminosa is not a heavy cigar but smokes like one. Slow and steady as she goes. The complexity of the flavor profile is outstanding but that finish……it is almost the best part of the blend…it just keeps on chugging with no end in sight.”
The greatest facet of this outstanding cigar is that it can be thoroughly enjoyed any time of the day. It’s as great with a cup of coffee as it is with an after dinner cocktail.

Crowned Heads Four Kicks Original
$168.30 – $202.98Crowned Heads Four Kicks Original is the one that started it all in 2011!
This cigar was the first collaboration between Jon Huber and Ernesto Perez-Carrillo Jr. This is a classic medium strength cigar that still appeals to a wide range of cigar enthusiasts.
This premier signature blend has remained a favorite for over a decade. Twelve years after its initial release Cigar Aficionado still rated it at 90. Their words for this masterfully blended medium to full bodied jewel are short and sweet. “A light beginning of herbs, anise and botanicals becomes richer with notes of raisin, malted chocolate and ground red pepper before an earthy finish. It draws and burns evenly.”
If you haven’t tried a Four Kicks yet, here’s your chance!

Crowned Heads Four Kicks Maduro
$168.30 – $217.26Crowned Heads Four Kicks Maduro is a unique follow up to the brand’s original blend. In fact, the release of this cigar was delayed by Ernesto for an additional 6 months to let it age.
This dark cloaked gem embraces a Connecticut Maduro wrapper showcasing a lesser-known Connecticut Habano varietal (rather the more popular Connecticut Broadleaf). The vintage filler and binder leaves are from Carrillo’s premier farms. The result is an amazingly complex tasting cigar via a superb draw.
Without a doubt, the folks at Cigar Dojo were among the first to rave about it with a score of 90. “This cigar quickly presented a bevy of delicious flavors and an incredible smoke output. The core flavors transitioned from sweet to savory, and back again, with complexity showing throughout with new and surprising flavors popping in to keep it interesting to the very end. It’s like a roller coaster—thrilling.”
Add that to The Cigar Authority’s 93 rating and you know this is not just another Maduro. They emphatically state, “Never judge a book by its cover, because chances are if I saw this cigar on the shelf I might just overlook it. Once you light it up, it’s a delicious cigar.”
Don’t be afraid of the dark…..enjoy a Four Kicks Maduro today!
