Lost and Found Cigars

Lost & Found Cigars is a different type of cigar brand. Most of the time with cigars, you know who made your cigar, where it was grown, where it was rolled, etc. With Lost & Found Cigars from Caldwell, that is simply not the case. Lost & Found is a collaboration between Robert Caldwell, owner of Caldwell Cigar Co., Tony Bellato, owner of La Barba Cigar Ltd., and designer Jaclyn Sears. The premise of this brand is to take the old and release it new. The program takes overstock that’s been aged, “lost,” forgotten or even unsold by out-of-business companies and releases the cigars to benefit a charity. The factories remain undisclosed and the anonymous cigars are repackaged under the name Lost & Found along with a catchy name and logo that are reminiscent of other popular brands. There have been quite a few releases so far, and they are limited. Using this tactic of repackaging cigars, these releases benefit Camillus House, a non-profit organization based in Miami, Florida, that provides housing, medical care and substance abuse treatment for the homeless.
