Crowned Heads Moose Kick 2025 Cigar: Canada's Exclusive Heavy Hitter
A bold smoke with northern swagger. Meet the Moose Kick 2025.
If you’re a cigar enthusiast living north of the 49th parallel (or just lucky enough to have connections in Canada), then brace yourself for one of the most exciting exclusive drops of the year. The Crowned Heads Moose Kick Limited Edition 2025 is finally here—and it’s got all the charm, strength, and wild personality of its namesake. Think of it as the Four Kicks Mule Kick’s hard-partying Canadian cousin who rolls his own maple syrup cigars and wrestles moose in the off-season.
Let’s be real: Canadian-exclusive cigar releases are rare. That alone makes Moose Kick 2025 a standout. But throw in top-shelf tobaccos, boutique craftsmanship, and one of the best cigar brands in the game—and you’ve got a blend worth crossing the border for.
Here’s everything you need to know about this limited edition stick before it disappears like snow in April.
What is the Crowned Heads Moose Kick?
Before we dive into the juicy 2025 details, let’s rewind the tape.
Moose Kick was born out of a collaboration between Miguel Schoedel, Crowned Heads’ national sales manager, and Richard Joseph, the premium cigar category manager for Brigham Enterprises, Crowned Heads’ exclusive Canadian distributor. The name itself is a nod to Crowned Heads’ long-standing limited release Four Kicks Mule Kick—only this one’s got a Canadian twist. Moose > Mule. Enough said.
The 2024 Moose Kick was an instant hit with Canadian cigar fans. It packed a flavor profile that was bold, complex, and rich - everything you'd expect from a Crowned Heads release. And now, the 2025 edition brings that same flavor in a new, slightly different form.

While the 2024 edition featured a 5 x 50 format and green stripe, this year’s 4 7/8 x 52 robusto adds a slight tweak in size and a fresh look—with the same banger blend underneath.
The Moose Kick continues to be rolled at D’Hatuey Tabacos S.A., the factory run by the ever-consistent Eradio Pichardo, known for producing hits like Juárez and Mil Días. That alone should give you an idea of the craftsmanship we’re talking about.
Flavor Profile: What’s It Like to Smoke a Moose Kick?
Don’t let the friendly Canadian name fool you. Moose Kick kicks.
That Mexican San Andrés wrapper delivers a rich, dark sweetness. Think espresso, dark cocoa, and a touch of earth. Underneath, the Nicaraguan binder and fillers bring spice, pepper, and a leathery backbone that rounds out the profile like a perfectly aged rye whisky.
Expect a medium-to-full bodied smoke, with flavor transitions that evolve over the course of the stick. It starts bold, mellows in the middle, and finishes with a signature kick. If the Moose Kick were a cocktail, it’d be an Old Fashioned made with smoked maple syrup and just enough bite to make your eyes widen.
Oh and let’s not forget that pigtail cap. It's a small touch, sure, but it adds a rustic, hand-rolled aesthetic that collectors and cigar nerds love.
Limited Edition Status: Blink and You’ll Miss It
Only 500 bundles of 10 are being released. That’s just 5,000 cigars total. For an entire country.
That means unless your local shop has an inside connection or you're camping outside your favorite tobacconist with a thermos of Tim Hortons, you’ll want to act fast. These bundles are going to disappear quicker than a box of Timbits in the office break room.
And no, there’s no word on MSRP again this year. Why? Because Canadian tobacco taxes are a chaotic mess of provincial madness. It’s hard to list a price when it could vary by double digits between Toronto and Vancouver. So best bet: check with your retailer.
Packaging: Red is the New Green
Last year’s Moose Kick had a green stripe under the band—a subtle nod to its "kickstart" into the Canadian market.
This year? That stripe’s gone red.
Why the change? Well, Crowned Heads hasn’t said officially, but fans speculate it’s a subtle hat tip to Canada’s national color. (Also, red just looks badass with the black and gold Crowned Heads branding.) The secondary band reads “2025”, which helps distinguish it from the 2024 edition if you’re into cellaring or showing off your humidor to jealous friends.
The Crowned Heads Legacy: Why It Matters
If you’re new to Crowned Heads, here’s the summary: They don’t miss.
Based in Nashville, Tennessee, Crowned Heads was founded by Jon Huber and Mike Conder, former CAO execs who broke out on their own after General Cigar acquired CAO. Since then, they’ve built a cult following by releasing cigars that combine artisan blending, indie aesthetics, and serious flavor.
Hits like Four Kicks, Jericho Hill, Le Carême, and Mil Días have made them a darling of boutique cigar lovers.
The Moose Kick is very much in that same lineage - limited, well-crafted, and memorable.
Why Canada?
Some may wonder: Why does Canada get its own exclusive when most brands focus on the U.S. market?
A few reasons:
-
Brigham Enterprises has been quietly building a strong cigar culture in Canada.
-
Canadian smokers are loyal, passionate, and willing to hunt down great cigars.
-
The Four Kicks Mule Kick line had loyal fans in Canada—so creating a "Moose" version made sense both culturally and as a nod to that customer base.
Plus, let’s be honest - Canada deserves some cigar love too. It’s not easy to find boutique blends north of the border, and releases like this one go a long way in rewarding loyal smokers.
Should You Buy It?
If you're in Canada: Yes. Immediately. Before someone else gets it.
-
Love a bold, complex blend with some spice and sweetness? This is for you.
-
Want something limited, exclusive, and genuinely different? This is for you.
-
Just need a cigar that looks great in your hand during a backyard hockey game or while grilling Alberta beef? Also for you.
If you’re NOT in Canada: Better start sweet-talking your northern friends.
We’re not saying you should offer to dog-sit, house-sit, or import a couple pounds of Canadian cheddar for your cigar buddy up north… but hey, whatever works.
Final Verdict: A Red-Hot Kick from the Great White North
The Crowned Heads Moose Kick 2025 is everything a limited edition cigar should be: unique, high quality, beautifully blended, and just hard enough to get that it feels like a reward for finding it.
From the spicy Nicaraguan fillers to the dark, oily San Andrés wrapper, this stick delivers punch and polish in every puff. And the updated red-banded look? Chef’s kiss.
With only 500 bundles out there, this is a release that Canadian cigar lovers won’t want to sleep on - and American fans will just have to envy (or smuggle).
So light one up, enjoy the smoke, and toast to a cigar that proves great things can come with a maple-scented kick.
