Buy Caldwell Long Live the King by AJ Fernandez Cigars Online & Save

Long Live the King by AJ Fernandez cigars is a new take on one of the core concepts of Caldwell Cigars. When the company was first launched in 2014, this was one of the debut lines (along with The King is Dead and Eastern Standard). All have earned accolades and brought fans to the new brand, helping it carve out a reasonably impressive space in the market. Since then, many new blends have come out, but smokers have returned to these initial stogies as reliably tasty experiences.

Long Live the King, in particular, was a primarily Dominican cigar. It was made from high-quality leaf, not just from the DR. It also featured some exciting flourishes in the filler blend from Nicaragua and Peru. The flavor profile still wound up being primarily Dominican: leather, cedar, and nuts. It scored pretty well with judges, earning a 91-point rating from Cigar Aficionado.

Successes like these attracted collaborators, like blender extraordinaire Abdel J. Fernandez, who is somehow involved in 99% of the cigars on the market. He worked with the Caldwell team to make The T, a Nicaraguan puro that also earned strong ratings.

Now he’s here to put his spin on one of the core blends.

Long Live the King by AJ Fernandez cigars are not a revision to the original blend. AJ’s take on the concept uses an entirely new set of tobaccos. As you might expect, this one is also all Nicaraguan leaf, featuring a bright brown Habano wrapper. But where the original is a recognizable Dominican blend, this one is true to the soil of Nicaragua. You’re still getting a decent wood note of cedar, but now it’s joined by red pepper instead of the leathery core you would taste on the original. It’s a strong take on the concept and one that people who like potent smokes will want to give a shot.

The King isn’t going anywhere. In fact, with AJ’s help, he’s entering a whole new era of dominance.
