Caldwell has announced its newest addition to the portfolio, The Queen is Dead. This marks the first core line developed from scratch after the Laudisi/Caldwell merger.
“This is the stick I have been most excited for since we dropped the original Long Live the Queen a few years back. QID is a very well-balanced, medium-bodied cigar. I find it to be in almost perfect harmony. It has just the right amount of everything that I like, and all of it plays together very well. I’ve been playing with this blend for a while. We made it together with William Ventura — he is my go-to for my favorite blends,” said Robert Caldwell in a press release.
The new line comes in five sizes:
- Bloodroot: Lancero (7 3/4 × 40) – $15.00
- Crimson Veil: Toro (6 × 52) – $15.50
- Requiem: Robusto (5 × 50) – $14.50
- Revenant: Magnum (6 × 60) – $16.00
- Scarlet Thread: Corona (5 3/4 × 44) – $13.75
The blend features a Dominican Habano 2000 wrapper, over a Sumatran binder and Dominican fillers. They are made at the Tabacalera William Ventura and are packaged in 24-ct boxes.
The cigars are expected to ship at the end of October.
