Fact sheet from the Caldwell 10th Anniversary One Night Stand

The Caldwell One Night Stand has a beautiful wrapper.

The first five minutes and the quality

The first five minutes were a challenge for me!

Right at the beginning, I have to say that the first five minutes of smoking were a bit of a challenge for me personally. All three samples seemed too bitter and too spicy at this stage. The smoke had a certain sharpness from start to finish, which was a little too much for me.

As far as the quality of the cigar is concerned, it is undoubtedly well made. The wrapper is beautifully silky and oily and gives the cigar an appealing appearance. It sits comfortably in the hand and is rolled solidly and flawlessly.

First and second half of the Caldwell One Night Stand

A stable and linear cigar until the finale. Then it turned up.

One aspect that struck me about the Caldwell One Night Stand is its linear flavour development. The flavour does not change very much during smoking. Only towards the end, in the finale, does the cigar turn up a little and become somewhat „deeper“ in flavour.

In terms of flavour, I could detect nuances of grass, nut and wood. There was also a distinct hint of bitter cocoa that ran through the whole smoke. Towards the end of the second half, slight notes of coffee beans were added, which gave the flavour profile a certain complexity.

Conclusion

I understand that the Caldwell One Night Stand has its loyal fans, but for me personally it wasn't quite right. The initial bitterness and spiciness, as well as the rather linear flavour development, were not ideal for my taste. However, it's important to emphasise that taste is subjective, and what didn't work for me may be great for other cigar lovers. Anyone looking for a cigar with these flavour profiles should give the Caldwell One Night Stand a chance.
