Caldwell Cigars’ Long Live the Queen line is the latest addition to the regular production portfolio of the brand. The cigar delivers a huge complexity and evolution. The flavor profile is unique and structured, while the smoke is, at the same time, satisfying but makes you crave another one immediately.
The first few puffs are spicy, with intense piquant notes enriched by citrus aromas. The first third opens up with white pepper, citrus, earth, and nutty notes. A riot of spices, leather, and roasted coffee beans are added in the second half. The balance is great from the first to the last puff.

HOW ARE THE AWARDS MADE?
Those who scored the highest among the cigars tested during the year in blind tastings and reviews get re-selected. These products are then tested once again in a new blind tasting, which means not knowing what they are during the tasting. The test results are then compared, and the TOP 5 are created.
Since 2015, CigarsLover Magazine has focused on terroirs in order to give the right space to all the producing countries. From 2018, the TOP 5 were paired with the TOP 50, which lists the 50 best cigars without distinction of origin. Together with the Best Brands, the Best Buy, and the best Boutique Brands, this list will be published in CigarsLover Magazine issue #5.
