The Caldwell Eastern Standard Sungrown cigar (aka “Eastern Standard Habano”) is a new take on the popular original Eastern Standard blend. While the first recipe called for an Ecuador Connecticut wrapper and earned a 92-point rating from Cigar Aficionado, this appears to be a different blend from the ground up. The wrapper, binder, and a portion of the filler are all new. We’re not sure if the Dominican filler leaf from the original is the same, but with key tobacco being changed for the Sungrown, we’re advising fans to look at this as a fresh cigar, not a revision.

Starting from the inside, there’s rich Dominican and Mexican tobacco. The binder is grown in Ecuador, and then the wrapper leaf is something a little different. It’s a Mexican San Andrés leaf, which usually is fermented to a deep Maduro or Oscuro. Instead of that route, this leaf keeps most of its “field character,” and is used in a natural format, rather than turning dark and sweet. The Caldwell Eastern Standard Sungrown cigar, therefore, has a Mexican Habano-Seed wrapper, which you really won’t find on many blends out there. In keeping with Caldwell’s style of finding ways to have fun and innovate with their cigars, you’re getting something you won’t find on the average smoke.

The flavors come out quite tasty once you actually light this thing up. There’s a good amount of subtle fruit notes floating around in the smoke, like apple and plum. You’ll also get earthiness and a light touch of toasted caramel to smack your lips on. So many Caldwell cigars seem to produce interesting flavor profiles that carry us away from the ordinary, and the Caldwell Eastern Standard Sungrown cigar manages to fit right in with the experience we expect from this company.

A delicious smoke – what else do you need to know, right?
