Caldwell Cigar Co. has expanded its Blind Man’s Bluff Connecticut and Maduro blends by introducing a sweet tip variant. This limited release, unveiled earlier this month, maintains the same blend, pricing, and sizes as their non-sweetened counterparts. The only modifications are found in the packaging.
The sweet tip versions are distinguished by boxes labeled “ST” to signify the sweetened tip. The Connecticut ST variant is presented in orange boxes, while the Maduro ST variant is enclosed in blue boxes. Both variations are available in three sizes:
- Blind Man’s Bluff Connecticut ST / Maduro ST Robusto (5 x 50) — $9.75 (Box of 20, $195)
- Blind Man’s Bluff Connecticut ST / Maduro ST Toro (6 x 52) — $10.75 (Box of 20, $215)
- Blind Man’s Bluff Connecticut ST / Maduro ST Magnum (6 x 60) — $11.75 (Box of 20, $235)
For the Blind Man’s Bluff Connecticut ST, an Ecuadorian Connecticut-seed shade-grown wrapper envelops a Honduran binder with fillers from Honduras and Nicaragua. Meanwhile, the Blind Man’s Bluff Maduro ST boasts a Pennsylvania broadleaf wrapper, Sumatran binder, and fillers from the Dominican Republic. Both blends are meticulously crafted at Davidoff’s Diadema Cigars de Honduras S.A. factory in Danlí, Honduras—the same facility responsible for producing the regular versions of each blend.
Caldwell Cigar Co. decided on a limited release, unveiling 250 boxes of each SKU. The company’s founder, Robert Caldwell, mentioned that the possibility of future releases is still under consideration, leaving the door open for more in the future.
