A Rare Balance of Refinement and Rustic Depth
L’Escalade was born in Switzerland and later brought to the U.S. in a focused Robusto format. It showcases Caldwell’s mission of innovation using aged, specialty tobaccos. This cigar walks the line between smooth and rustic—soft creaminess and fine cedar meet unexpected earthy and mushroom undertones. It feels like a heritage hunt in tobacco form: familiar comfort with hidden surprises waiting discovery.
First third: Creamy cedar and light bread-cereal sweetness surface, backed by faint brown sugar tones and gentle white pepper
Middle third: Cereal dries to graham-like warmth; black pepper rises with more earth and toast balance
Final third: A savory earthiness develops, edged by mushroom and woody notes that linger with soft sugar sweetness
Draw is smooth with moderate resistance. Burn stays mostly even, and smoke remains creamy and aromatic throughout.
L’Escalade embodies Privada’s philosophy of narrative craftsmanship. It’s not about flash; it’s about harmony and subtle discovery. For smokers who appreciate evolution and nuance—those who look beyond the obvious—this Robusto offers layers of character in a composed, medium-bodied form.
