The verdict
The Crowned Heads Four Kicks Corona Gorda is a balanced, medium-bodied smoke from Crowned Heads's Four Kicks line. It's a Dominican Republic (New World) corona gorda wrapped in Ecuador Habano at 5.625 in × 46.
On the palate, expect cedar, leather, and pepper, leaning earthy. Plan on roughly 60 minutes from light to nub.
It pairs naturally with coffee and aged rum. If you're newer to cigars, this is a safe, enjoyable pick.
The Corona Gorda is the slimmer, more traditional shape in the Crowned Heads Four Kicks line, and a lot of longtime fans argue it's the size that shows the blend off best. Like the rest of the line, it's made at Ernesto Perez-Carrillo's Tabacalera La Alianza in the Dominican Republic over a Nicaraguan core.
What it tastes like
At 5 5/8 by 46, the narrower ring gauge concentrates the smoke and pushes the wrapper forward. You get cedar, leather, and a clean black-pepper spice over earth and a creamy, faintly sweet finish. It's medium in body — flavorful and lively without ever turning heavy — and the slimmer format tends to burn a touch crisper than the Robusto.
Who it's for
This is a great pick if you like elegant, classic-shaped cigars and an hour of relaxed smoking. It suits both newer smokers and seasoned ones looking for an everyday rotation cigar.
