A staple of the Caldwell collection, the corojo version of Long Live the King is all red leaf on the outside, as well as on the binder, followed by a dash more corojo in the filler, but this time courtesy of the ligero priming off the upper portions of the tobacco plant. Then, just for those craving even more flavor and intensity, comes an additional smack of ligero habano leaf straight from Nicaragua, and then a touch of Pelo de Oro out of Peru in the filler. Translated to "Hair of Gold," the latter of these is an heirloom Cuban-seed tobacco varietal that is best known for its sweet, pungent aromatics and fruity tropical flavors.

Continuously corojo throughout, but a bit more milky and nutty than just tea, citrus, and spice at first, this blend threads the needle with ease. Traditional red leaf tobacco tastes on the outside, and a far more creamy, nougat and vanilla-filled center underneath, every pull, retrohale, exhale, and aftertaste within this cigar is pure smoking bliss.
