What we don’t know about this interesting edition is the blend with the exception of the wrapper. What we do know is that it’s terrific! This brand launched in 2016 on a very limited edition basis in only its corona size. As with most of Caldwell’s entries, it was well received, pricey and quickly sold out. it’s now generally available in a variety of popular sizes. This stick stays firmly in the medium bodied range and has a slightly sweet and pepperlike complexity that isn’t overpowering.

This style’s Connecticut version consists of the same blend as the Original entry with one exception. The golden Ecuadorian Habano wrapper changes this cigar into a smooth, mild to medium bodied gem with the original’s signature character intact.
