NASHVILLE, TN - Greetings & Salutations to one and all, and welcome to the Crowned Heads Royal Report, Vol. 12.
As it's been some time since our last Royal Report, I want to provide a brief update on all things that are Crowned Heads.
FOUR KICKS - We'd like to thank everyone for their continued support of our first release, "Four Kicks." Hard to believe, but we've been shipping Four Kicks for less than a year--and in that short time, we've seen our list of Retail Partners rise from 66 to nearly 300. We've also grown the portfolio to 6 total vitolas now: Corona Gorda, Robusto, Seleccion No. 5, Sublime, Pyramide, and Robusto Extra.
HEADLEY GRANGE - As those of you who follow us on social media (Twitter) may know by now, we've begun shipping our second release, "Headley Grange," this week. For those not in the know, 'Headley Grange' is a 2013 Crowned Heads brand (we'll be releasing 5 vitolas in March/April 2013). We released a 'sneak preview' release of 1,000 boxes of Estupendos at the IPCPR trade show this past August. Those 1,000 boxes sold out in 2 1/2 days. We've received reports from several retail partners that 'Headley' sold out within hours of their receiving their first orders earlier this week. We want to thank everyone--our retail partners and our loyal consumers--for the incredible outpouring of support you've shown for 'Headley Grange.'
Our first shipment this past week was only a portion of the 1,000 total boxes we will be receiving--we will be shipping more 'Headley' into the market in the coming weeks. Also, we provide daily updates on product status, where product was shipped, who has it in stock, etc., via our official Twitter feed. Follow us on Twitter at @TheCrownedHeads.
MULE KICK - Last month, Cigar Aficionado online broke the news regarding our upcoming Four Kicks Limited Edition, "Mule Kick LE 2012." You can read the story here (http://www.cigaraficionado.com/webfeatures/show/id/16708). As a result of that online story, our phones here at the HQ began to ring off the hook. There're no secrets as to who was 'selected' to receive Mule Kick. The simple truth is we contacted those retail partners who contacted us first--calling them in the order in which the calls were received--and we took orders until we hit the 500 box total allotment. So, we'd like to thank Cigar Aficionado for 'shining a light' on Mule Kick. We'd like to thank those retailers who reached out to us and have shown their support. Lastly, we'd like to thank those of you who've contacted us via email, text, and Twitter, showing us your interest in Mule Kick.
Until next time, thank you for following our journey, thank you for supporting Crowned Heads, and smoke somethin' good!
