Long Live The Queen Ace Of Hearts Becomes Regular Production
The people have spoken. What was once intended to be a limited-edition version of Robert Caldwell’s royalty-themed Long Live the Queen blend has returned due to customer demand as a regular part of the line. Called Ace of Hearts, the cigar is shipping to retailers now.
“We’re very excited to finally be caught up on production and this project exceeds our wildest expectations,” says Caldwell.
Earlier this year, the entire Long Live the Queen line was rated in a vertical brand tasting in Cigar Insider. The line performed quite well: three of the five sizes earned scores of 90 points or higher, but the Ace of the Hearts performed the best, at 94 points.
Measuring 6 inches by 52 ring gauge, the Ace of Hearts is the only box-pressed size in Long Live the Queen and has a suggested retail price of $19.08. Made in the Dominican Republic at El Maestro, a smaller factory owned by William Ventura, it consists of a Cameroon wrapper, Indonesian Sumatra binder and a mix of Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers.
Like the rest of the line, it ships in white boxes of ten featuring the image of an African queen. Prior to becoming a regular-production size, only 700 boxes of the Ace of Hearts were produced.
