Description
This is a limited cigar assortment of the Lost & Found Antique Line. It is a one time run that represents the most premium cigar content we’ve placed in the program as of yet.
THE STORY
The Antique line is born as an extension to Lost & Found. It all started when Robert was offered a batch of extremely special cigars that were different than anything he had found or developed before. He then agreed to sell the small batch to one retailer and then decided to keep these as they were special to him and he wanted to develop something different than what Lost & Found was offering through their bundle offerings.
This wasn’t simply something that was lost and later found, but a unique production of something he knew well from one of the most reputable factories in the world. These cigars were kept by Robert for personal enjoyment, and have now been re-banded and re-branded as the Antique Line, which include “the oldest, most special, best-tasting cigars…The caviar of what we do with Lost & Found” (Caldwell).
Here’s where it gets interesting… Last month we had an 11-year-old production in the FD placement, and these are roughly the same age. We’re celebrating Factory Direct’s one year anniversary with arguably the most premium production we’ve curated.
These two blends are different from the seven being introduced in the packs. They are not runner-up(s) or “honorable mentions,” they simply have not been planned-for. If we “hype” these, we will in some way distract you from the attention the aforementioned lines deserve. If these are introduced to the market later on through the Antique Line and you discover what these were, don’t act surprised.
