The Caldwell Lost and Found Secret Stash 2005 cigar is made with exquisitely aged Dominican tobacco for a flavor you can only find on very select blends. Normal aging might give you a cigar with a year or two of maturity, but 15+ years of time is something you won’t come across every day.
Robert Caldwell would know – he’s making a career of coming across cigars like this as often as possible.
Secret Stash 2005 is part of the Lost and Found line, which seeks cigars and tobacco that have fallen by the wayside. There are so many things that can lead to good leaf being put on pause. It could be that an order didn’t come through, or that there were shipping difficulties. It could be that a wrapper leaf failed a final quality inspection for aesthetic reasons. Or it could be a good run of cigars that were brought to an aging room and then never found their moment, and so time kept passing until Caldwell and Co. rediscovered them.
Whatever the reason, Lost and Found cigars must pass one test: the smoke test. If they’re good, they can become a part of this special limited edition line of stogies. If not, well, then we know the reason the leaf never made it to market.
The Caldwell Lost and Found Secret Stash 2005 is part of a batch of 2,000 smokes made in the Dominican Republic. The wrapper leaf is pure Dominican sun-grown – nice and strong and hearty. This is covering a Dominican Piloto Seco binder and highly evolved Sumatra long-fillers. Fans of this type of tobacco will notice that the usual notes are subdued, turned into a smoother profile than you’ll get on younger cigars. These 5 x 50 robustos aren’t like the young bucks that are all pepper and leather. Instead, you’re getting silky coffee and hints of dried wood that make this one quite special.
It’s a cigar over 15 years in the making. Now it’s time to enjoy!
