Caldwell Cigars introduced the Blind Man’s Bluff line back in 2015. Six years later, they launched the brand’s first limited edition called “This is Trouble.” The cigar is far from trouble and reveals a well-balanced and rounded smoke, paired with a rich flavor profile and an enjoyable evolution.
Wood, leather, and walnut are supported by black pepper. Cocoa, cinnamon, and vegetal notes are added in the second part of the smoke. The finale is all about dark chocolate and balsamic aromas.

HOW ARE THE AWARDS MADE?
Those who scored the highest among the cigars tested during the year in blind tastings and reviews get re-selected. These products were then tested once again in a new blind tasting, which means not knowing what they are during the tasting. The test results are then compared, and the TOP 5 are created.
Since 2015, CigarsLover Magazine has focused on terroirs in order to give the right space to all the producing countries. From 2018, the TOP 5 were paired with the TOP 50, which lists the 50 best cigars without distinction of origin. Together with the Best Brands, the Best Buy, and the best Boutique Brands, this list will be published in CigarsLover Magazine Winter 2021 issue.
