Caldwell Cigars: Caldwell Cigar Co is a relative newcomer to the industry but are making waves with their world class cigars. Founded in 2014 by Robert Caldwell and produced at Tabacalera William Ventura in the Dominican Republic. Caldwell started his journey in the industry by launching a concierge service providing cigars and accessories to high-end hotels and restaurants. They now have over 10 brands under their belt and have been collaborating blends with other cigar makers.
Eastern Standard The Eastern Standard is a beautifully constructed stick with a good amount of oil sheen to it's Ecuadorian Hybrid Connecticut wrapper which is exclusive to them. The Dominican Criollo ’98, Dominicano Corojo Ligero and Nicaraguan filler and binder are bursting with salt and pepper and milky coffee flavours which develop into wood and exotic spices further down the stick.
Loose Cigars: The Caldwell Cigars leave the factory packaged loose in a Cedar lined box. This helps the cigars to develop and flavours to diffuse. They are stored in our climate controlled humidor until dispatch and ideally should be transferred directly into a humidor. If you are buying them for a special occasion they should keep for up to a week in a cool, dark place.
Hand Rolled: The tradition of being rolled on a maiden's thigh can be questioned but the added quality a cigar beholds from being hand-rolled by an experienced Cigar Roller cannot. Each cigar is rolled to the same density with full-length filler (leaves), providing the perfect draw and ash build-up, which cannot be matched by a machine.
Preparation: Please note the Caldwell cigars require cutting or punching before they can be enjoyed.
