About this cigar
Caldwell's The King Is Dead line represents the brand's uncompromising approach to small-batch blending, and the Broken Sword Unit stands as one of its most intriguing expressions. Named for its distinctive asymmetrical shape, this unique vitola defies convention while delivering consistent complexity across a 37-count box. The blend layers a dark, oily Mexican San Andrés maduro wrapper around a core of carefully selected Dominican and Nicaraguan tobaccos that evolved through years of vault aging before release. Expect deep cocoa and leather on the first third, with emerging notes of black pepper and dark cherry that intensify through the burn. The irregular shape actually forces a slower, more deliberate smoking experience, drawing out subtle woody undertones and hints of charred earth that reward close attention. The finish carries a pleasant sweetness characteristic of rested maduro leaf, lingering well after each draw. This is a cigar for the client who appreciates provenance and unconventional design equally, and a 37-count box performs well for lounges seeking distinctive inventory that generates conversation.
