HISTORY
Caldwell Cigar Company was created in 2014 with a very simple agenda: to create special cigars using well-aged aged rare tobaccos and to enjoy the hell out of what they do. They are a business built on friendship and fun whose strategy has always been: Creation, Innovation and Ambition.
Caldwell products are built using very well-aged and rare tobaccos. They use such aged tobacco to provide year-over-year consistency in flavour and experience. Tobacco is a crop just like everything else; it has its seasons. The best way to control consistency is to age the tobacco for a very long time.
Caldwell has always leaned towards tobaccos that were harder to procure, or more limited in nature, so that they can deliver a flavour that isn’t quite what you are used to.
ANASTASIA
Robert Caldwell’s affinity for cigars began after visiting Ernesto Perez-Carrillo’s factory in Little Havana when he was just 12 years old. Little did he know that 20 years later, he would release such a special cigar with Ernesto. Anastasia is Robert Caldwell’s pride and joy. Anastasia closes the circle of his journey through the industry back to the spark of initial interest that led to a life dedicated to premium cigar manufacturing.
Officially, the cigar is simply called Anastasia, but it is actually the fourth cigar to be released under this name. Previous Anastasia releases had either blue or green bands, but this release is the Anastasia Yellow Band. It is made in the Dominican Republic, but the factory and blend are being kept a closely guarded secret. These medium to full-bodied cigars have creamy notes of caramel, malt and spice with hints of leather and cedar.
