Smooth, cool smoke and hella lotsa it; nice 'nuff tingle to stave off the meh that sometimes brings. Complex as Jared Leto's Joker but hopefully more smoke this than saw that. "Cuban-esque" gets thrown around too much at times -- but yes. Lively yet settled-in and we--rounded plenty to be quite deep. Room-note is killer. Did I type "hella?" Yes, I sure did.

"At the 2016 IPCPR Trade Show, Caldwell Cigar Company unveiled a new extension to its Eastern Standard brand known as Eastern Standard Dos Firmas or the Caldwell Signature. “Dos Firmas” translates to two signatures – and that’s because the cigar carries the signatures of company owner Robert Caldwell and of William Ventura, who owns the factory that Caldwell has partnered with." - www.Cigar-Coop.com
"Two years ago, when Robert Caldwell made his return to the cigar industry, he unveiled a line called the Eastern Standard ... This year, Caldwell has taken some steps to make Eastern Standard a full-fledged brand in his portfolio by introducing two new blends under the Eastern Standard line. One of those new blends is a maduro offering known as the Eastern Standard Midnight Express. The other is another Connecticut cigar, using a different Connecticut Shade wrapper known as Eastern Standard Dos Firmas – a.k.a. called the "Caldwell Signature."" - www.Cigar-Coop.com (2016)
