Caldwell Cigar Co., under the ownership of Laudisi Enterprises, has launched its highly anticipated Yellow Cake 2025 line, expanding the popular series with a brand-new Maduro version alongside the original Habano blend. Shipping of pre-orders to retailers began yesterday, February 27, marking the latest evolution of a cigar that started as an event-exclusive offering.
Available in two sizes—Corona (4 x 46) and Robusto (5 x 50)—Yellow Cake 2025 is packaged in convenient 5-count craft paper bundles. The Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) is set per tray, which contains 10 bundles, with the Habano and Maduro Coronas priced at $5.60 per cigar ($28 per pack) and the Robustos at $6.72 per cigar ($33.60 per pack). Consumers can expect to purchase these by the pack, with some shops likely offering individual sticks.
While the wrapper types—Habano and Maduro—are disclosed, the full blend and factory remain a mystery, a nod to the line’s quirky origins. “Yellow Cake was never supposed to be a thing,” said founder Robert Caldwell in a press release. “It was an event-only cigar, but people loved it so much we got pushed into retail. This year, we leaned in—adding a Maduro to the mix. Two wrappers, two sizes. Pick your pleasure.”
Originally crafted from leftover tobaccos of other Caldwell lines, Yellow Cake has grown from a niche favorite to a retail staple. The 2025 release promises fresh appeal for aficionados seeking variety in their smoking experience. Retailers nationwide are now stocking up, so fans won’t have to wait long to get their hands on these “freshly iced” treats.
