Description
Thunderkiss in the 5x54 format is a budget-friendly robusto extra from Crowned Heads, positioned as an everyday smoker around the $7 mark at retail in bundles of 10.
Blend and factory
-
Uses an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan filler, rolled in a 5 x 54 robusto/robusto extra vitola.
-
Produced in Nicaragua (listing sites note Nicaraguan origin and binders/fillers; factory credits point to D’Hatuey Tabacos S.A. under Eradio Pichardo’s supervision).
Strength, profile, positioning
-
Most describe the strength as medium to medium-plus / medium-to-full, intended as a bold but accessible daily cigar rather than a limited or allocated item.
-
Published tasting notes include dry earth, cedar, black pepper, baking spice, nutmeg, and dark chocolate, indicating a classic, spice-forward Nicaraguan profile with some sweetness.
Brand and concept
-
Crowned Heads continues its music-inspired naming with Thunderkiss, riffing on the song “Thunder Kiss ’65,” positioning the cigar as energetic, loud in flavor, and made for regular rotation rather than collection.
-
It’s part of their push into more price-conscious offerings that still aim to “smoke above their price point,” giving you a workhorse Nica Habano option you can comfortably pour at events or sell as a step-up from bundle yard-gars.
