Filler: Dominican Republic

Profile: Medium 

A rare discovery from Robert Caldwell’s acclaimed Lost & Found project, the Lost Reserve Connecticut is a testament to patience, precision, and the hidden treasures of the cigar world. This small-batch masterpiece was crafted at William Ventura’s El Maestro factory in the Dominican Republic, using select tobaccos from Ventura’s private aging vaults, which is now shared with the public for the very first time.

Handmade in a 5 x 50 Robusto size, the Lost Reserve Connecticut features a silky Connecticut wrapper cloaking a core of specially aged Dominican fillers. Though the full blend remains confidential, the result is unmistakably refined: smooth, creamy, and elegantly balanced, with gentle notes of cedar, toasted nuts, cream, and a touch of honeyed sweetness. Each puff delivers a medium-bodied experience that’s both approachable and complex, revealing the meticulous craftsmanship behind every leaf.

Originally introduced as part of Caldwell’s expansion into commissioned and intentionally aged cigars in 2022, the Lost Reserve line honors the artistry of blending and aging. The Connecticut version, in particular, shines for its understated sophistication and clean finish leaving an ideal choice for those who appreciate finesse over force.
