I have been fortunate enough to parlay my love for the leaf
into, what is in my humble opinion, a noble way to show your appreciation and
allegiance to iconic cigar brands.
It is
because of www.customcigarbandrings.com
that I was able to introduce myself to Jon Huber (over 4 years ago) and he actually got me to believe my venture was a viable one.
I recently decided to make a concerted effort into promoting
my rings, and of course the first man I reached out to was Jon Huber, now at
The Crowned Heads. In his endless
kindness he sent me a box of Four Kicks, and my review goes something like this:
Picture a place where the hills roll gently with grass as
soft as a lush, padded carpet. A place where
the breeze always blows at the perfect pace, enough to keep you cool, but not
mess your hair. A place where the drink
is always cold, and the sun is always warm.
And of course a place where the cigar, oh the cigar, is always flavorful,
easy to draw and gets better with every puff!
That is what happens to me each time I light up a Four Kicks
cigar. I am being serious when I say
that this is a cigar I could smoke all day long, and never grow tired of
it. It is a rare blend of sweetness and
flavor, easy to draw and good to the last puff.
I want to turn my friends on to it, but I don’t want to give
up any of my own stash, (if you know what I mean). I’ve never really hoarded
cigars before, but Four Kicks is as close to a Cuban as I’ve had in a very long time. In fact ‘Cubanesque’ is a great way to
describe this amazing smoke.
I found
out recently that the master behind the blend is none other than Ernesto
Perez-Carrillo, the Godfather of boutique cigars, the Cigar Aficionado Hall of
Fame Class of 2012 inductee, the maker of EPC Cigars, Four Kicks, and the top
rated cigar of 2012, the Headley Grange (which I’ve still yet to try…hard to
get!).
It’s another award for another masterpiece. Definitely my new ‘go-to’ cigar right now, and for the foreseeable future. If you see it in the store, buy it!
