The all new Caldwell The King is Dead by AJ Fernandez is not a tweaked version of the original. It is a reimagined, re-engineered creation that was secretly developed by Caldwell Cigars and AJ Fernandez. Strong and flavorful, the Caldwell The King is Dead by AJ Fernandez sports a dark, inviting maduro wrapper supported by a binder and filler made of aged Nicaraguan tobacco. Only 250 boxes of 25 cigars were made, and once they’re gone, they won’t be coming back. The Caldwell The King is Dead by AJ Fernandez is expertly hand crafted in Nicaragua.

Cigar Origin
Nicaragua
Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
Despite many decades of war and revolution in this Central American country, the cigar industry has thrived due to the hard work and tenacity of Cuban exiles to the land such as Plasencia, Padron, Oliva, Ortez, and others. Tobacco has been a force of social stability, and the country is now one of the principal exporters of premium cigars in the world.

Wrapper Color
Colorado Maduro
Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Colorado maduro wrapper is milk chocolate brown.
Wrapper
Nicaraguan
The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Nicaraguan cigar wrappers are produced mainly in Esteli and Jalapa, both lands with volcanic soil and excellent climate for growing tobacco. Wrappers grown in Jalapa have sweet undertones. Corojo, Habana2000, Criollo, and Maduro wrappers are all produced in Nicaragua.
Binder
Nicaragua
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
Nicaraguan cigar binders are produced mainly in Esteli and Jalapa, both lands with volcanic soil and excellent climate for growing tobacco. Binders grown in Jalapa have sweet undertones. Corojo, Habana2000, Criollo, and Maduro binders are all produced in Nicaragua.
Filler
Nicaragua
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
Rolled by
Handmade
Handmade cigars are completely made by hand from start to finish.
Manufacturer
AJ Fernandez
Cuban expatriate AJ Fernandez produces handmade cigars in Esteli, Nicaragua at the Tabacalera Fernandez factory. Fernandez learned everything he knows about tobacco and cigarmaking from his late grandfather, cigar legend Alejandro Robaina.

Cigare que je recommande.

Jeffrey David G.09/06/2020About: Caldwell The King is Dead by AJ Fernandez Torpedo 6" * 52

This cigar is the perfect example of why I favor a Nicaraguan binder and filler! The dark Colorado Maduro wrapper accentuates what is the heart of this cigar which is immaculate in all regards. Dry draw is delicious and fired up even better. I am not comparing this stick to Caldwell’s version. I love them both but Fernandez has created a fantastic “mirror” version of Caldwell’s and this is just a bit better and more to my preference. I do lean toward the fuller flavored Nicaraguan sticks. This is clearly a 91-93 level cigar, maybe higher. In spite of its class, strength, and Wow flavor.. a subtle sweetness sneaks through with Earth, Cedar, Hay, and almost a Blackberry hint. Very very good cigar... magnificent!

Jaime V.09/02/2020About: Caldwell The King is Dead by AJ Fernandez Super Corona 7" * 46

Excellent cigar, and the super corona shines in opinion.

Great Cigar

Todd S.03/27/2020About: Caldwell The King is Dead by AJ Fernandez Super Toro 6"1/4 * 54

All the Robert Caldwell/AJ Fernandez collaborations have wowed me, and The King is Dead doesn't disappoint. Medium to Full body, a beautiful blend and well balanced. Smokes great, and one I would only light up as that "special" moment in the evening, paired with an adult beverage.Yes, Highly Recommended!

Al S.01/11/2020About: Caldwell The King is Dead by AJ Fernandez Torpedo 6" * 52

Amazing cigar, great taste. Definitely one of my favorites now.

Todd S.12/28/2019About: Caldwell The King is Dead by AJ Fernandez Torpedo 6" * 52

I'm a fan of just about everything that has AJ's name on it, and when he collaborated with Robert Caldwell on "The T,' I just had to try it, and WOW!! So when I saw AJ put his own spin on the King is Dead, well couldn't pass this up, and glad I didn't.. its PHENOMENAL!!! I enjoy the original but wouldn't go out of my way for it. The AJ blend will now be part of my regular rotation A very special smoke, smooth with a full body, and one to enjoy with a nice drink and sitting in one place. Highly recommend!

samer i.12/19/2019About: Caldwell The King is Dead by AJ Fernandez Torpedo 6" * 52

as good as the original

Jose T.12/02/2019About: Caldwell The King is Dead by AJ Fernandez Super Corona 7" * 46

great cigar

Benjamin M.11/12/2019About: Caldwell The King is Dead by AJ Fernandez Super Corona 7" * 46

This thing looks like the well-worn deep brown leather on a couch or catcher's mit. On the medium to full body side, but very consistent until the final 3rd where it did get quite a bit stronger/spicier. Flavors reminded me of the Joya Antando Gran Reserva Presidente (slightly more expensive),with the same kind of sweet-cedar/candied-bacon flavor. Excellent depth. I smoked a Liga T52 bellicoso after this, and while I enjoyed that more, it is also nearly 1/3 more expensive. So I'm going to let my rating here reflect the value of this stick at its price. Worth trying.

Justin B.11/10/2019About: Caldwell The King is Dead by AJ Fernandez Super Toro 6"1/4 * 54

great buy and price

Billy F.11/06/2019About: Caldwell The King is Dead by AJ Fernandez Super Toro 6"1/4 * 54

Great cigar

Jim F.10/30/2019About: Caldwell The King is Dead by AJ Fernandez Torpedo 6" * 52

Good stick , but I like the original better

Mark10/28/2019About: Caldwell The King is Dead by AJ Fernandez Torpedo 6" * 52

The king is dead was already a good cigar, I like the new Nicaraguan wrapper! Nice edition by AJ.

tomis p.10/18/2019About: Caldwell The King is Dead by AJ Fernandez Torpedo 6" * 52

Cigar is definitely full bodied, first part had cocoa flavor and was slightly bitter, later on was more creamy and coffee/ spice that I was able to detect. Absolutely worth a try.

Joey S.10/08/2019About: Caldwell The King is Dead by AJ Fernandez Super Corona 7" * 46

Another great AJ collaboration.

Joey S.10/08/2019About: Caldwell The King is Dead by AJ Fernandez Super Toro 6"1/4 * 54

Another great AJ collaboration

Pat10/04/2019About: Caldwell The King is Dead by AJ Fernandez Super Toro 6"1/4 * 54

AJ strikes again. He's got the midas touch when it comes to cigars. This stick packs a punch with lots of flavor and aroma.

ricardo b.10/01/2019About: Caldwell The King is Dead by AJ Fernandez Super Toro 6"1/4 * 54

100% recommended one of the best...

Michael B.09/28/2019About: Caldwell The King is Dead by AJ Fernandez Torpedo 6" * 52

Full bodied, lots of Cocoa , that goes into a chocolate note with some spice. Tastes like the filler was aged with some mustiness in the mix. I try most of AJs stuff and this did not disappoint!

Eduard N.09/25/2019About: Caldwell The King is Dead by AJ Fernandez Super Toro 6"1/4 * 54

Great smoke. Would buy again

Chris M.09/24/2019About: Caldwell The King is Dead by AJ Fernandez Torpedo 6" * 52

Excellent cigar as you would expect from such an incredible collaboration. Actually reminded me of an Oliva Serie V in a lot of ways. Worth trying!

Chuck V.09/22/2019About: Caldwell The King is Dead by AJ Fernandez Super Toro 6"1/4 * 54

This stick was okay , nice smooth draw, good burn, very good construction. I got black pepper on the retrohale, wood notes , and a little leather. I think it's a little overpriced .

Geo S.09/21/2019About: Caldwell The King is Dead by AJ Fernandez Super Toro 6"1/4 * 54

Awesome

Jose T.09/19/2019About: Caldwell The King is Dead by AJ Fernandez Super Toro 6"1/4 * 54

great cigar, great taste, the draw was a little hard but the flavor and aroma are amazing

Francis L.09/11/2019About: Caldwell The King is Dead by AJ Fernandez Torpedo 6" * 52

Have to try anything made by AJ, and this is another winner. An interesting maduro that doesn’t taste like a maduro. It has lots of cacao, chocolate and amped up spice. Very nice

Michael I.08/29/2019About: Caldwell The King is Dead by AJ Fernandez Torpedo 6" * 52

Another successful amalgamation for AJ Fernandez. I love both the original and this blend. Not better, just different in a good way.
