## Caldwell Crafted & Curated Girls Guns Gold

**Sometimes with Caldwell you’re never sure if a series is really a Lost & Found. Girls Guns Gold is marketed as such on some sites. It is part of the Crafted & Curated series. The tobacco is from several countries. The cigar is draped in a smooth, light tan Ecuador Connecticut wrapper. You can barely see the tiny veins.**

**Wood, cashews, some creaminess (could be some lemon in there) , mild spice, hints of chili pepper that’s very pronounced on the retrohale, earth, leather, minerals and slightly steely – a metallic taste of a few puffs. That metallic taste turns to a lead aroma on the retrohale along with a blast of serious pepper. During the second third I’m tasting cereal like Rice Krispies. Am I tasting ravioli (without the sauce) because it’s a flavor note in the tobacco or because my brain remembers the taste from dinner last night?**

**I’m perplexed on the issue of balance. Generally the flavors work together, but some conflict – like the hot chili pepper and metallic notes in a medium to medium-mild bodied Connecticut. Quite unusual. Yet, I’m enjoying the flavors in this cigar.**

 **The construction on this bad boy is spot on near perfect – good open draw, sharp even burn line and a solid volume of smoke and not one touchup from torching to nub. This is rarely my experience with a lancero – the only vitola offered for Girls Guns Gold I believe.**

**I have to give Caldwell’s Crafted & Curated Girls Guns Gold 5s across the board, which surprises me. I went into this with no expectations. This is one of Robert Caldwell’s hidden gems. If you’re into Caldwells, give this a try.**
