Made with all the precision of a Swiss watch, Caldwell L’Escalade was first released exclusively to the Switzerland market in 2018. The cigar is named for the country's annual festival in Geneva (held on Dec. 11th each year), celebrating the 1602 victory over Charles Emmanuel I, Duke of Savoy and his failed surprise attack to overtake the city.
When Caldwell L’Escalade debuted, the cigars were rolled in a singular 6" x 54 toro format, with only 250 boxes of 10 in circulation. The cigars have now come stateside, removing the "CH" sub-band that designated the cigars as a Swiss exclusive. But the blend remains the same as the original, showcasing an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper over a Dominican binder and fillers of the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. This recipe is hand-crafted at the boutique-minded Tabacalera William Ventura factory in the DR, offering a medium intensity and refined complexities of fresh-cut cedar, must, gingerbread cookies, and sweet malt.
Country of Orgin : Dominican Republic
Strength : Medium
Wrapper : Natural
*Please note that all SKUs have two product lines. The top line is the box/bundle count. The second line is less than a box/bundle count and will be shipped as loose cigars in a humidified bag.

In my palate's opinion: SILKY & SMOOTH flavored profile. Reliable construction. This is one of the best CALDWELL's (LE) production. No disappointment. I have bought multiple 5-packs, with no issues noted, This is literally a anytime coffee extended breaktime indulgence.

Definitely a unique cigar. I’m not an expert on picking out all the nuanced flavors. But this cigar would certainly standout in a blind tasting.

Fantastic stick. Received in the COTM and immediately fell in love. What a good Dominican cigar should be. Lots of subtle notes of baking spice and fresh hay/grass. Just a hint of pepper that increases slightly as it’s smoked.
I always keep these on hand in my humidor
