The Origin of the Name

A Nod to White Zombie’s 1992 Hit

The cigar takes its name from “Thunder Kiss ’65”, a 1992 song by the heavy metal band White Zombie. The track gained renewed attention when it featured on the animated series Beavis and Butt-Head. Crowned Heads often celebrates music through its branding, and Thunderkiss continues that tradition with a blend that mirrors the energy of its namesake.
