I had purchased a 5 pack of these about 6 months ago at the height of lock down. Seemed to me then, the only thing to do were to cruise for deals on a somewhat well-known cigar auction site. These ones in particular were picked up for about $5 USD per smoke, which is a great deal because they typically retail for about $8 USD per stick.
Caldwell has become a widely known boutique cigar company that made a quick dash to fame a few years ago. The cigars are known for quality and unique traits like The T cigar I reviewed about a month ago; and to that end, Blind Man's Bluff is no different. The wrapper is an Ecuadorian Habano leaf. The binder comes from Honduras and is a Crillo while the filler tabacco is from Honduras and the Dominican. This Toro shaped cigar has the typical Toro length but comes in with a slightly wider than normal 52 ring-gauge; Robusto and Magnum sizes are also offered as part of this line of cigars from Caldwell.
Wrapper: Ecuador
Binder: Honduras
Filler: Dominican Republic, Honduras
Length: 6"
Ring Gauge: 62
Size: Toro
The Smoke: I used my V-cutter to poke a hole in this one. The cigar feels firm and has the feeling of strong construction. Un-lit, this cigar has woody and grassy aromas. Aromas and flavors of wood, bread, cinnamon, nutmeg, and caramel come after the cigar is toasted and lit. Slight nut joins the array of flavors about mid stick. The smoke is light a creamy with ample amounts of it to cover the palate. The body of the cigar is medium to full bodied.
The cigar held its shape and had a mostly even burn rate during the hour-long smoke. One thing that got to me on this one was the nicotine pop. This is the first cigar I smoked that had this much of a nicotine kick to it, but it felt good and carried me well into the evening.
Overall, I found the Caldwell Blind Man's Bluff to be an enjoyable smoke. Something I would recommend at least trying and determining if it is something that you enjoy as much as I did.
Score: Buy a Pack of 10
