Re: Crowned Heads
Four Kicks: I've tried the Robusto and Corona Gorda sizes and enjoyed them both. I get nice woody flavors with some sweetness and cream. I think these are great medium smokes.
Headley Grange: Tried the Corona Gorda and Estupendos sizes - Liked the Estupendos the best. Nice dose of black pepper but not too heavey, leathery and a bit of espresso going on. More complex than the four kicks IMHO. This is more on the Medium-Full side of things to me.
Las Calaveras: Tried one of these in the Robusto size - strong on the pepper and spice side of things. Chocolate and earthy leather going on. Very good, but very strong. I have some more but am going to sit on them for a while and see if they mellow out.
Jericho Hill is on my "try it soon list" - I've heard very good things about it.
I think the Four Kicks and Headley Grange are a great place to start, and if your B&M carries Crowned Heads then they most likely have these in stock.
