This Caldwell Crafted and Curated Girls Guns Gold Lancero cigar is made in the Dominican Republic. Outside, you'll find a Habano wrapper. Inside, the binder is, and the filler is Dominican, Nicaraguan. This is a Robusto cigar with a length of 7.25 and a ring gauge of 38.
“All the gold and the guns and the girls (couldn't get you off).”
-Metric, “Gold Guns Girls”
Caldwell Cigars founder Robert Caldwell is suffering from success. Between this company and Lost and Found, some partners get upset that they can’t get their hands on such hot commodities. So, to show he’s got plenty of love for his hardcore Caldwell family, he crafted and curated this tasty little number called Girls Guns Gold.
In a delightfully belligerent Instagram post, Caldwell described Girls Guns Gold cigars as a dark Connecticut that is reached, creamy, and “packed with “f***ing flavor.” There’s some moderate spice in there, and the resulting experience is “over the top excellent.” We wouldn’t be surprised if the core were Nicaraguan and Dominican, but the CT wrap is the only thing we can be sure of. With Mr. Caldwell, you have to hang on and enjoy the ride.
The format is a Lancero, so you get a smoke that’s easy to hold and draw on until there’s nothing left. 38 x 7.25 makes a fine stick perfect for a long morning with a coffee.
The name references a song from Canadian rock group Metric called “Gold Guns Girls.” It’s still a crankable anti-greed anthem that wonders over and over if anything will ever be enough. When it comes to these Caldwell cigars, the clear answer so far is “no.” It doesn’t seem like anyone will get their fill of these delicious, delectable smokes soon.
Keep puffin, friends.

United StatesCaldwell Crafted & Curated Girls Guns Gold
Sometimes with Caldwell you’re never sure if a series is really a Lost & Found. Girls Guns Gold is marketed as such on some sites. It is part of the Crafted & Curated series. The tobacco is from several countries. The cigar is draped in a smooth, light tan Ecuador Connecticut wrapper. You can barely see the tiny veins. Wood, cashews, some creaminess (could be some lemon in there), mild spice, hints of chili pepper that’s very pronounced on the retrohale, earth, leather, minerals and slightly steely – a metallic taste of a few puffs. That metallic taste turns to a lead aroma on the retrohale along with a blast of serious pepper. During the second third I’m tasting cereal like Rice Krispies. Am I tasting ravioli (without the sauce) because it’s a flavor note in the tobacco or because my brain remembers the taste from dinner last night? I’m perplexed on the issue of balance. Generally the flavors work together, but some conflict – like the hot chili pepper and metallic notes in a medium to medium-mild bodied Connecticut. Quite unusual. Yet, I’m enjoying the flavors in this cigar. The construction on this bad boy is spot on near perfect – good open draw, sharp even burn line and a solid volume of smoke and not one touchup from torching to nub. This is rarely my experience with a lancero – the only vitola offered for Girls Guns Gold I believe. I have to give Caldwell’s Crafted & Curated Girls Guns Gold 5s across the board, which surprises me. I went into this with no expectations. This is one of Robert Caldwell’s hidden gems. If you’re into Caldwells, give this a try.
