Long Live The King BAR-NONE Shipping This Month
Caldwell Cigar Co.’s Long Live The King brand will be getting a new limited edition release later this year.
Long Live The King BAR-NONE is a two-size limited edition. It is made entirely of Dominican tobacco, with the wrapper and binder both being Cuban-seed tobaccos. Production is handled by Francisco “Chico” Rivas’ Manufactura Rivas factory in the Dominican Republic. There are two sizes, both of which are limited to 500 boxes:
- Long Live The King BAR-NONE Robusto (5 x 50) — $13.50 (Box of 20, $270)
- Long Live The King BAR-NONE Toro (6 x 52) — $15 (Box of 20, $300)
Historically, Long Live The King has been a brand made at Tabacalera William Ventura in the Dominican Republic. Last September, the factory caught fire and was destroyed. While the factory is scheduled to be reopened in September 2024, Caldwell—one of the factory’s largest clients—has been forced to discontinue some lines, move production to the Ventura family’s other factory, and—as is the case here—find new production partners for new releases.
Long Live The King BAR-NONE will be shown off to retailers at the 2023 PCA Convention & Trade Show, which takes place July 8-11 in Las Vegas, before shipping to stores at the end of the month.
