Founded in 2014 by Robert Caldwell, the Caldwell Cigar Company became well-known for creating cigars with extremely rare tobaccos to provide aficionados like me with a special smoking experience unlike anything else.
Before starting the Caldwell Cigar Company, Robert Caldwell had a previous venture with another juggernaut of the cigar world, Christian Eiroa, to create Wynwood Cigars. However, the two had very different creative visions and eventually split up. Caldwell’s eccentric and innovative style is expressed by the unconventional artwork and brand names in the top-rated Caldwell Cigar Company portfolio.
Part of a trio of blends that were the first releases by Caldwell Cigar Company in 2014, The King Is Dead by Robert Caldwell is already a rarity on the market since it is a Dominican puro. There are very few Dominican puros on the market, most famous of which is the Fuente Fuente Opus X. The King Is Dead cigar also wears a top-shelf Dominican Negrito wrapper, a leaf that is notoriously difficult to blend with.
Underneath the coffee-brown wrapper lies a zesty Dominican Corojo binder and an aged blend of Dominican Corojo, Dominican Habano, and Dominican HVA long fillers. Once lit, I get an incredibly rich and complex medium to medium-full bodied smoke brimming with complex flavors of chocolate, spice, earth, cedar, espresso, and a creamy tobacco sweetness.
Made at the famous Tabacalera William Ventura in the Dominican Republic into several sizes, these top-notch smokes have been a staple in my humidor since their release and will be a fine addition to your collection.
