History

Crowned Heads was founded in 2011 in Nashville, Tennessee, by Jon Huber along with partners Mike Conder and Guillermo Rico, shortly after Huber left a role at CAO. The company launched with Four Kicks in 2012 and quickly earned a following among enthusiasts.

Rather than owning a factory, Crowned Heads works as a brand-and-blend house, contracting production with respected makers, most notably My Father Cigars in Estelí, Nicaragua. This model let the small company punch above its weight, releasing well-regarded lines such as Four Kicks, Headley Grange, Jericho Hill and Le Carême.

The brand is known for storytelling, music-inspired names and consistently high-scoring boutique releases, and remains independently owned.
