Caldwell in the house!!

[Demuths1770]

Last night the local cigar group had a Caldwell event and it was really nice and low key! About 10 of us showed up and the special was a Eastern standard and the king is dead for 10 bucks. With that you got a yellow cake. I got my sticks (no yellow cake, special limited run un named cigars instead) qmd enjoyed the king is dead. The rep was awesome and down to earth and had some great stories and insight to the company where its going and where they want to be. Also learned something new that I plan on trying which is removing a inch of the wrapper off the foot with your cutter to experience the cigar without the wrapper and than see how much the wrapper changes it. I finished off the king is dead an moved onto a long live the king to finish the night. I highly recommend trying Caldwell if you have yet to try them and to go to a event if you have one local. It wasn't a we have huge deals and give a way events but it was a AWESOME learning event from the Caldwell brand to just cigars in general. My taking from the night

Thanks for sharing this experience you had. I'm a big fan of the "Long Live the King."

i had it in My Style is Jalapeño and loved it in the beginning but it got harder to smoke as i went on. i think it was to moist so i had keep puffing on it which ruined it. i have one at home resting that i am defiantly looking forward to smoking

Robert Caldwell was on the Stogie Geeks show a couple of weeks back, and I really enjoyed his interview.

I had my first Eastern Standard last night thanks to @Bernardini and it really took me by surprise. One of the best NCs I've had in a while!

Not sure if you knew it or not but apparently your supposed to smoke TKID followed by the LLTK like you did. The first cigar is supposed to set up the second to make it better. Saw an interview recently with Robert Caldwell and he was saying how this was part of the original concept but they abandoned it from a marketing stand point because people weren't getting it.

hmmmm wow thats interesting but makes sense with the name the king is dead and long like the king and the saying the king is dead long live the king

I was surprised to see them at a B&M I visit when I can and picked up a LLTK. The thing was basically fireproof and I could not for the life of me get the binder and wrapper to combust. What flavors I did wrest out of it were nice, but I think if the whole cigar burned as intended, it would be spectacular.
