The King Is Dead is one of Caldwell Cigar Company’s most recognizable and distinctive blends, created by Robert Caldwell as part of his mission to showcase rare and underutilized tobaccos. Crafted in the Dominican Republic at the Tabacalera William Ventura factory, the line is built around a unique “Negrito” wrapper—an old-world Dominican varietal that’s known for its rustic appearance and rich, earthy character. Combined with carefully selected Dominican fillers and a Dominican binder, The King Is Dead offers a complex profile with notes of cocoa, wood, spice, and natural sweetness. Its bold identity, boutique craftsmanship, and unconventional tobacco choices helped establish the line as a standout in Caldwell’s portfolio and a favorite among smokers who appreciate originality and depth.
Caldwell The King Is Dead by AJ Fernandez brings a bolder, deeper
interpretation to Caldwell’s popular line, blending AJ’s
signature Nicaraguan intensity with the original brand’s rustic,
earthy character. Handcrafted in Nicaragua, this version delivers
a richer profile with notes of cocoa, pepper, and toasted wood,
wrapped in a carefully selected leaf that enhances both aroma and
depth. The result is a cigar that feels familiar to fans of the
original line yet stands on its own with a fuller body, a more
pronounced spice, and the unmistakable craftsmanship AJ Fernandez
is known for.
Caldwell The King Is Dead Premier Robusto offers a
rich, distinctive smoking experience built around the
line’s signature Dominican Negrito wrapper and its
uniquely rustic flavor profile. This compact robusto
format delivers a balanced mix of earth, cocoa, and
warm spice, supported by select Dominican tobaccos
that create a smooth, steady burn. The Premier
Robusto is an ideal size for smokers who want the
full character of the blend in a shorter, more
concentrated session, bringing depth, personality,
and boutique craftsmanship together in one
well-rounded cigar.
Caldwell The King Is Dead Toro delivers the full character of
this fan-favorite blend in a longer, steady-burning format that
highlights its rustic Dominican charm. Wrapped in the signature
Negrito leaf and filled with a thoughtfully balanced mix of
Dominican tobaccos, this toro size brings out deeper notes of
earth, cocoa, and warm spice with a natural sweetness that rounds
everything out. The extended format allows the flavors to open
gradually, giving smokers a smooth, well-paced experience that
feels both memorable and approachable.
