Caldwell

At the end of 2023, Caldwell Cigar Co. gave two of its core lines an extension that might have been a first in the industry. The Blind Man’s Bluff Connecticut and Maduro got a sweetened tip option.

The Long Live The Queen Maduro is an important moment: the first new cigar from Caldwell after the Laudisi acquisition, one of the first cigars from the rebuilt Tabacalera William Ventura, and the follow-up to one of last year’s headlining releases.

This release was supposed to be a Lost&Found cigar but then it got adopted by Caldwell Cigar Co.

Caldwell’s Anastasia line added a new, yellow-banded member this year, and Patrick Lagreid gives the robusto vitola a review.

After numerous delays, Caldwell Cigar Co. began shipping its Anastasia Añejado 2016 to retails in April. While the new release shares a name with the company’s already existing Anastasia line—and was rolled the same year as the original release of those cigars—the blend is completely different, highlighted by a habano mejorado wrapper grown in the Dominican Republic.

Caldwell’s The King is Dead line gets a new line extension that changes the filler blend and gives all of the sizes a box press.
