 Caldwell Cigars, Caldwell The Last Tsar, Dominican Republic, Hybrid Connecticut Arapiraca Maduro, Toro I always look forward to smoking this Caldwell The Last Tsar in Toro by Caldwell Cigars ever since I discovered it in 2020 although lately, I’ve been having some draw issues… but not today!

Through a perfect draw with a V-Cut and I’m off to the races totally enjoying this deep rich Connecticut Hybrid Arapiraca Maduro wrapped bundle of awesomeness!

As you can see I was so enthralled that I “spaced out” and started smoking the band!?

Anyway… Yes, I’ll be smoking more of these and I can’t wait!

Until next time…

Once it, thick oily smoke comes delivering creamy smoke, some black licorice, chocolate, coffee, caramel, malt, vanilla with a soft black pepper spice on the retrohale… Wow!

What’s not to like about this “The Last Tsar” in Toro by Caldwell Cigars?

I did have a mushy last third, so I’ll keep an eye on that the next time I choose to spark this.

Do I need to say anything more about this delicious cigar?!!!

Although there were some very minor draw issues today… I suspect a little “Dry-Boxing” would have taken care of that issue… Next time!

 Caldwell Cigars, Caldwell The Last Tsar, Dominican Republic, Hybrid Connecticut Arapiraca Maduro, Toro The rich bold flavors of this awesome Caldwell The Last Tsar in Toro by Caldwell Cigars. A great way to savor and contemplate this one-year anniversary of COVID-19 lifestyle changes going on 365 days.

The Last Tsar by Caldwell Cigars hits all the checkboxes in what I’m looking for in a “Premium” cigar… needless to say, I was a little late in discovering this gem of a cigar, so I’ve been quietly purchasing these whenever and wherever I find them… After all, this dandy is wrapped in one of my favorite “rare” cigar wrappers in its use of the Connecticut Arapiraca Maduro wrapper.

I can’t wait to smoke this again!

 Caldwell Cigars, Caldwell The Last Tsar, Dominican Republic, Hybrid Connecticut Arapiraca Maduro, Toro First time today with the “The Last Tsar” in Toro by Caldwell Cigars and I can say it was Love at first puff!

I want more, please!

The Caldwell The Last Tsar is typically an expensive cigar and that’s probably why I’ve stayed away from it for so long… BUT, these can be had for more reasonable and affordable prices if you search in the correct places…

I’m pretty sure I’ll be adding some more of these Caldwell The Last Tsars in next month’s Cigar Budget.
