This Corona-sized cigar, the Caldwell Midnight Express Per Se, boasts a medium-plus body and a multifaceted smoking experience. Wrapped in a dark Ecuadorian leaf, it encloses a Dominican Habano binder and a carefully crafted blend of fillers from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. The resulting flavor profile is a masterful balance of pepper, earthy undertones, rich espresso, subtle burnt cedar, and deep dark chocolate. The cigar's construction is flawless, with a glossy, dark wrapper and a nearly perfect pigtail cap, allowing for a smooth, effortless draw that produces a robust, velvety smoke that fills the mouth. As a maduro counterpart to the renowned Eastern Standard, this cigar offers a savory, medium-full bodied experience, characterized by intricate notes of spice, bold espresso, cedar, and leathery nuances, all tempered by a sweet caramel undertone that harmonizes the bold flavors.
