The Cigar: Caldwell Cigar Co. Long Live The King Lock Stock (5 x 52, DR)
The Hype - Robert Caldwell has said, very seriously, "The purpose of Caldwell Cigars is to go wherever we must to find the most exotic flavors we can. The Caldwell Collection is made up of a number of very unique brands that utilize these premium rare tobaccos. This boutique brand does everything they can to find the best tobaccos available, and that's on full display with the fantastic Long Live the King cigars.
The other cigars in the Caldwell Collection are mellow, but this one takes a medium to full-bodied approach. Your palate will be instantly greeted with notes of earth, oak, dark chocolate, and hints of black pepper. It's a demanding and satisfying cigar that you'll want to give your full attention too. Long Live the King may be the best Caldwell cigar to date.

Note: A reviewer who posts their review late will receive neutral feedback. A reviewer who does not post at all will receive negative feedback. There are always exceptions to the rule and a reasonable excuse for tardiness or a no show will be respected and thus not counted against the reviewer. Our sponsoring members and our administrators make the choice of who is to participate in any particular Geek Critique and can be better informed of their choices with this new initiative in place.
