In addition to the plethora of releases announced yesterday, Caldwell Cigar Co. will be sending a special size of Eastern Standard to Maxamar’s Ultimate Cigars of Orange, Calif.

The retailer actually announced that it would be receiving an exclusive from the company a month ago through its SmallBatchCigar.com website. The Marble House measures 5 x 40. Robert Caldwell told halfwheel that it will use the same blend as The Silk Road Lancero, which features a tweaked version of the Eastern Standard line.

It has a suggested retail price of $7.50 or $277.50 per box of 37.

In addition to the Caldwell release, Maxamar’s has also received the Fonseca Inktome, a collection of prototype releases from Quesada Cigars. In addition, an exclusive version of the La Colmena blend is coming from Warped Cigars.

Eastern Standard is produced at Tabacalera William Ventura in the Dominican Republic.

Update (Feb. 23, 2015) — The cigars are now in stock.
