Caldwell Ships The King is Dead Escape Plan
After a bit of delay, Caldwell’s The King is Dead Escape Plan is finally shipping to stores.
Last week, the company began shipping the new The King is Dead Escape Plan, a box-pressed version of the King is Dead that also uses a slightly different filler blend. Like the original, it uses a Dominican negrito mejorado wrapper over a Dominican binder, however, Escape Plan’s fillers come from the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua and Peru. The regular King is Dead blend uses only Dominican tobacco. Both cigars are made at Tabacalera William Ventura in the Dominican Republic.
It is offered in four sizes:
- The King is Dead Escape Plan Short Cut (5 1/2 x 46) — $14 (Box of 20, $280)
- The King is Dead Escape Plan Grand Tour (5 x 54) — $15 (Box of 20, $300)
- The King is Dead Escape Plan Drybeggar (6 x 52) — $15 (Box of 20, $300)
- The King is Dead Escape Plan AutoPilot (7 x 48) — $15 (Box of 20, $300)
While the cigar is not a limited edition, it will be limited on an annual basis. For 2022, the company will produce just 300 boxes of each size.
