Calico is a highly distinctive, uniquely shaped cigar within the "Daughters of the Wind" series. Its name continues the series' tradition of paying homage to Arabian horses; "Calico" typically refers to horses with vibrant, visually striking coats. This 6 1/8 × 52 pyramid-shaped cigar uses a blend of the five regions at the heart of the Daughters of the Wind series. Unlike the standard straight-shaft size, the Calico, through its gradually narrowing physical structure, filters and concentrates the fruity sweetness of Peruvian tobacco with the spice notes of Nicaraguan and Dominican tobacco, aiming to provide cigar smokers with a dramatic and exotic sensory journey.

Initial Stage: Thanks to its conical cap design, the smoke is highly focused in the initial ignition. The Ecuadorian wrapper releases oily notes of cedarwood, white pepper, and subtle floral aromas. As the burn progresses towards the 52 ring gauge body, the flavor quickly becomes full-bodied and meaty. Mid-section: Entering the mid-section, the exotic fruity sweetness of Peruvian tobacco (similar to fig or dried dates) intertwines perfectly with the deep earthy notes of the Costa Rican binder. At this stage, complex layers of roasted nuts, dark chocolate, and cinnamon are clearly discernible. The pyramidal structure allows the flavor concentration of each puff to subtly fluctuate with changes in ring diameter. Finish: As we move toward the end, the flavors shift to deep leather, aged oak, and a warm espresso texture. Thanks to the use of carefully selected aged tobacco leaves, the smoke maintains excellent smoothness even in the heat-concentrating area at the pyramid end, leaving a mineral-deep and extremely elegant woody finish.
