There will be a Four Kicks Mule Kick LE2020.

On its Instagram, Crowned Heads teased a picture of an unbanded cigar and the caption, “Yes Virginia, there WILL be a #fourkicks #mulekick LE #2020”

Historically, the cigar has been a 5 7/8 x 52 robusto extra that uses a slightly stronger version of the regular Four Kicks filler blend—various Nicaraguan tobaccos—over a darker wrapper. The original release in 2012 was just a darker version of the Ecuadorian habano wrapper that the regular Four Kicks uses but subsequent releases have used Ecuadorian habano and Ecuadorian Sumatra wrappers.

Jon Huber, co-founder of Crowned Heads, declined to provide further details about the 2020 release.
