Caldwell Cigars

I love a cigar made with a creative, innovative blend, and nobody does it better than Caldwell Cigars. Although founded less than a decade ago in 2014, the Caldwell Cigar Company has become one of the most popular boutique brands on the market. All it takes is a puff from one of Caldwell Cigars’ several top-rated blends to see why, and I have a bunch in my humidor that I break out when I want a smoking experience unlike anything else.

Robert Caldwell is a bit of an outlier when it comes to cigar makers. He does not have cigar-making or tobacco heritage. Instead, it was his raw passion for handmade premium cigars that compelled him to become a cigar maker. His first foray into the art came in 2013 when he teamed up with famous cigar maker Christian Eiroa to create Wynwood Cigars, however the two did not share the same creative vision.

With the goal of creating cigars with unique, rare, and well-aged tobaccos in small batches, Caldwell Cigars hit the ground running with a trio of innovative releases, Eastern Standard, Long Live the King, and The King is Dead. Each would go on to make waves and garner popularity, especially Eastern Standard which revolutionized Connecticut blends with a Connecticut Shade/Arapiraca hybrid wrapper.

As Caldwell Cigars became increasingly popular, the brand continued to add top-quality blends like Blind Man’s Bluff and The Last Tsar as well as several line extensions. I especially enjoyed the Caldwell The King is Dead by A.J. Fernandez, a famous cigar maker who also had a meteoric rise in the last decade. Made entirely with Nicaraguan tobaccos, The King is Dead by A.J. Fernandez has rich full-bodied flavors of cocoa and peppery spice backed by espresso, baking spices, earth, and tobacco sweetness.

This only scratches the surface of the exceptionally good portfolio that the Caldwell Cigar Company has developed. To add some Caldwell Cigars to your collection of boutique cigars, you can order boxes or affordable singles and packs online right here at Cigars.com.
