Caldwell The Last Tsar Churchill – ON ITS WAY!
Anthony’s Cigar Emporium will be the first retailer to receive Caldwell The Last Tsar Churchill and has just confirmed that its shipment of Caldwell The Last Tsar Churchill is on its way. Caldwell The Last Tsar Churchill is the second vitola released under Caldwell Cigar Co.’s limited edition The Last Tsar brand. Be among the first to get a box of Caldwell The Last Tsar Churchill by ordewring at Anthony’s Cigar Emporium here.
The limited edition The Last Tsar cigars are limited to the “First 49”, a group of 49 retailers that helped to launch the Caldwell brand. Robert Caldwell, owner of Caldwell Cigar Co., has been planning to make The Last Tsar a twice a year limited release to the First 49, with each release being a different format and possibly different blends. This second release of The Last Tsar is highly anticipated given the success of the inaugural The Last Tsar Belicoso that celebrated Caldwell’s first anniversary. Caldwell The Last Tsar Churchill release is limited to 1.000 ten-count boxes with a picture of Tsar Nicholas II and “The Last Tsar” in Russian (последний царь). The cigar is an homage to Tsar Nicholas II, who, along with his family, was murdered in 1918, ending the Romanoff dynasty that ruled the Russian Empire for centuries and ushered the Bolsheviks into power.
Caldwell The Last Tsar Churchill is being produced at Caldwell’s new 3,000 sq. ft. factory in Tamboril, Dominican Republic. William Ventura , former Davidoff Master Blender is still overseeing the production of Caldwell Cigar Co. products (exc. Blind Man’s Bluff), but the enormous success that Caldwell cigars have received has forced it to open its own factory next door to Tabacalera William Ventura, which heretofore produced Caldwell cigars.
Caldwell The Last Tsar Churchill is a classic 7″x 47. The format is different from the Belicoso but the blend has remained the same. Caldwell The Last Tsar Churchill uses the same wrapper leaf as the Eastern Standard line, which Caldwell describes as Arapiraca/Connecticut Shade Hybrid Maduro. The wrapper leaf was fermented longer and processed a little differently than the Eastern Standard making it difficult to work with. As Robert Caldwell said: “it was a pain in the ass to make, we lost a ton of tobacco when making it because it was more of an experiment than anything to use that wrapper in that way.”
Caldwell has used unique and hard to source limited batch leaves in all of the Caldwell Collection, its line of premium cigars, but The Last Tsar blend is very unique and uses rare varietals. The blend of The Last Tsar is undisclosed but we know it includes another rare tobacco called Carbonell which Caldwell has described as a “really cool tobacco that has incensy aroma to it.” He further said that the blend is completely unique to anything he has smoked before, describing them as full-bodied, yet very refined. “They are going to be the fullest bodied cigar in the Caldwell Collection, yet palatable for most smokers.”
