Caldwell Adds Blind Man’s Bluff Sweet Tip

The Blind Man’s Bluff Connecticut and Maduro blends are now available with a sweet tip.

Earlier this month, Caldwell Cigar Co. released a limited amount of both blends with a sweetened tip. Blend, pricing and sizes remain the same as their non-sweetened counterparts; beyond the sweetened cap, the only changes are related to packaging. The cigars come in boxes that say “ST” to denote the sweetened tip and the colors are different; the Connecticut ST comes in orange boxes, while the Maduro ST comes in blue boxes.

Both blends are offered in the same three sizes:

• Blind Man’s Bluff Connecticut ST / Maduro ST Robusto (5 x 50) — $9.75 (Box of 20, $195)
• Blind Man’s Bluff Connecticut ST / Maduro ST Toro (6 x 52) — $10.75 (Box of 20, $215)
• Blind Man’s Bluff Connecticut ST / Maduro ST Magnum (6 x 60) — $11.75 (Box of 20, $235)

Blend-wise, the Connecticut ST uses an Ecuadorian Connecticut-seed shade-grown wrapper over a Honduran binder and Honduran and Nicaraguan fillers. The Blind Man’s Bluff Maduro ST uses a Pennsylvania broadleaf wrapper over a Sumatran binder and fillers from the Dominican Republic. Both blends are made at Davidoff’s Diadema Cigars de Honduras S.A. factory in Danlí, Honduras, the same factory that produces the regular versions of each blend.

Robert Caldwell told halfwheel that the company released 250 boxes of each SKU. He said he was undecided if more would be released in the future.
