Caldwell Eastern Standard Sungrown Magic Super Lancero Slated for Late November Release
Caldwell Cigar Co. is adding a new size to its Eastern Standard Sungrown line this month, a 7 1/2 x 42 vitola dubbed Magic and also known as a Super Lancero.
The blend remains the same as the rest of the cigars in the line, meaning a hybrid Mexican/habano wrapper over an Ecuadorian binder and fillers from the Dominican Republic and Mexico. The new vitola comes with an MSRP of $13 before taxes, and is offered in 20-count boxes. Each of the 1,000 boxes being produced for the worldwide release has been signed and numbered, and are expected to be on retail shelves before the end of November.
“This size was originally produced for fun for the trade show when we released the Sungrown line,” Caldwell told halfwheel. He added that he has been asked about it consistently since that time, and wanting to close out “this weird year” by releasing a new cigar, decided it was time to add the Magic Super Lancero as a limited release.
“This cigar really showcases what we do best, which is smaller ring gauge, medium-bodied cigars,” he added.
It joins the four other regular production sizes in the Eastern Standard Sungrown line:
- Eastern Standard Sungrown Robusto (5 x 50)
- Eastern Standard Sungrown Toro Extra (6 1/4 x 54)
- Eastern Standard Sungrown Double Robusto (6 1/4 x 56)
- Eastern Standard Sungrown Magnum (6 x 60)
Eastern Standard Sungrown debuted at the 2018 IPCPR Convention & Trade Show and was released in September of that year. It is produced at Tabacalera William Ventura in the Dominican Republic.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
