I've found them here:
http://smallbatchcigar.com/caldwellcigars-c-119.html
And here:

There might be other places but these were the first places that popped up. I'm looking forward to trying these as well.

La Palina Laguito Especial Lancero is my favorite new release so far.
The Anvil was very nice, although a bit large.

Forgot about the La Palina, got a box buried somewhere in my coolidors

 

[itsaaron]

Las calaveras and tat be reserva have been so good I bought boxes.

Time to add angels anvil so different than the LC, but equally awesome

Is the Anvil going into regular production?

Limited production

Man, you just cracked a box from 02'....that is nuts. I hope to aspire to keeping a cigar around for a quarter of that time. I eye balled that Pepin a while back, might have to go back to my BM and see if they're still holdin' lol

Ah! Small batch. They also have Jericho Hill and LAT 38s in... looks like I'll be visiting them soon... perhaps throw a box of HG drummies in...

I'm waiting for the Norteno to hit, then placing an order for all of that.

if your ever in Orange county swing by Tobacco Barn, amazing shop and they have all the caldwells and JV lines in stock. I think they were one of the first stops on roberts release tour.

It was a TAA release, so you needed a TAA account to buy it, and they only sold it at the TAA show I believe (I could be wrong).

I'm waiting on a lot of new stuff from the IPCPR before having an opinion such as: the LFD 1994, LFD Chapter 2, Padron 50th, Norteno, and the Ashton Symmetry.

Top New Cigar for me so far:
NC : Las Calaveras.
I was so blown away with this cigar last night, that I ordered two boxes today. I have never done that. It was just so flavorful from the 4th draw on.

CC: H Upmann Connie A
These babies are like crack ! They are so rich and flavorful as well, but with 5 years, I bet they will be a 96 point cigar at least. So damned good !

I was only going to do top 3, but the Jericho Hill was such a close runner up to the Las Calaveras, I felt I had to list it!
