Caldwell Cigar Company: Blind Man's Bluff Chico Gold Toro Deluxe Cigars

A staple of Caldwell Cigar Company's lineup since its debut at the IPCPR trade show in 2015, the brand planned for a three-part limited-release of the blend in a special toro deluxe vitola. Unfortunately, in the midst of producing the blend, William Ventura's El Maestro factory burned down, resulting in only the first part being released. Despite the setback, Caldwell Cigar Company still wanted to pursue their three-part plans, so they shifted production to Francisco "Chico" Rivas' Manufactura Rivas factory in the Dominican Republic to complete the limited series. The Blind Man's Bluff Chico Gold Toro Deluxe consists of the same types of tobaccos from the first Toro Deluxe release, an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, Dominican binder, and Dominican fillers. However, each tobacco is sourced from different locations within their country of origin and are processed differently as well, resulting in a distinct flavor compared to the original. Caldwell Cigar Company decided to represent the changes by naming the limited-edition blend after the man who helped them finish production — Francisco "Chico" Rivas.
