Jeremy McDonald and Robert Caldwell Hit the Right Notes with Exclusive Ammunition Cigar Release

Jeremy McDonald and Robert Caldwell have once again joined forces in the world of cigars with the recent release of their collaborative creation, Ammunition. This partnership follows McDonald’s previous role as the national sales director for Caldwell Cigar Co., before he went on to establish Wildfire Cigar Co. just two years ago. Their earlier collaboration, the Ammunition cigar, is now making its way to retail shelves.

Ammunition stands out as one of the PCA 2023 exclusives, cigars specifically available to retailers who placed in-person orders during the mid-summer trade show. However, the unique aspect of this arrangement was that retailers didn’t have to visit the Wildfire Cigar Co. booth. Instead, they were required to attend a concert by Louders The Roar, a band fronted by Jeremy McDonald, on July 8 at The Square Bar.

Designed to complement Ammunition Whiskey from Daylight Wine & Spirits of Santa Rosa, Calif., the Ammunition cigar is a 6 x 52 toro. Its composition includes a Dominican corojo wrapper, with binder and fillers sourced from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. Manufactured at Manufactura Rivas in the Dominican Republic—a factory increasingly utilized by Caldwell—the cigar is positioned as a unique offering in the premium cigar market.

Priced at an MSRP of $15 per cigar, production was deliberately limited to 300 boxes of 10 cigars. Approximately 15 select stores are now featuring the Ammunition cigar, making it a sought-after and exclusive addition for cigar enthusiasts.

Expressing his excitement about the collaboration, McDonald stated, “I’m excited because this collaboration isn’t one-sided. Ammunition Whiskey will be introducing their consumer base to Wildfire Cigars by distributing our brand during their vendor opportunities as an onsite pairing, and we get to introduce something new in a fun and interactive way. Who doesn’t love live music, libation, and cigars? It’s the perfect Ménage a Trois to stimulate your senses.” This dynamic collaboration showcases the fusion of music, whiskey, and cigars in a way that promises a unique sensory experience for aficionados.
