COO: Dominican Republic (La Alianza)
Wrapper: Ecuador Sumatra
The Four Kicks line was developed by Jon Huber and Mike Conder of Four Kicks along with Ernesto Perez-Carrillo Jr., and as is the case with pretty much every cigar that makes it to store shelves, there were versions of the blend that didn’t make it. In the case of Four Kicks, there were three finalists, two of which uses an Ecuadorian habano wrapper and one that used an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper. While one of the habano-wrapped versions was the one selected to become Four Kicks, the Sumatra-wrapped version wouldn’t be relegated to history. Rather, it would be released under the header Four Kicks Capa Especial.
