Lost and Found 22 Minutes to Midnight Criollo Classico Toro

Lost & Found is Robert Caldwell’s rescue mission for “orphan” cigars. Fully aged, top-shelf sticks left homeless in factory aging rooms until he and his co-conspirators swoop in, re-band them, and drop them in micro-batches. Think boutique cigar witness-protection program, or so the story goes. Once they’re gone, they’re really gone, so light up, brag fast, and move on to the next mystery.

Rolled at the now-legendary William Ventura factory and left to nap for years, this blend wears a buttery-soft Dominican Criollo ‘98 wrapper over matching vintage Dominican binder and fillers. First puffs drop warm cedar and honey-graham sweetness, then a wave of roasted peanuts and cinnamon spice kicks in before finishing on a clean white-pepper snap. Medium body, Sunday-afternoon smooth, and once the clock strikes midnight, it’s gone.
