Caldwell Cigars only entered the game in 2014. Yet it feels like it’s been a lifetime. Each blend from Caldwell has been an immediate success, delighting fans of boutique cigars. Eastern Standard is one of their first classics. This cigar helped start the “new age” era of Connecticut blends: cigars that are mellow in body, but full in flavor.

The secret to success for the Eastern Standard comes from the wrapper. Each cigar features a unique Havana Connecticut hybrid leaf. Combined with Dominican and Nicaraguan filler, the tobaccos come alive and produce lush notes of creaminess, bright citrus, and a slightly grassy note. Eastern Standard is incredibly versatile, performing just as well with a cappuccino as it does with a glass of rum. For those wanting to try their first Caldwell, Eastern Standard is a perfect choice.
