Bolivar Bolivar Cofradia Lost & Found EMS

Bolivar Cofradia Lost & Found is a limited edition collection created in collaboration with Robert Caldwell and his tradition of bringing “forgotten tobacco” from Central America’s best cigar factories to cigar lovers in the US.

In 2021, Robert Caldwell and Justin Andrews traveled to Honduras, where they had full-fettered access to the vast tobacco library of the legendary HATSA factory in Danlí. They centered on a reserve of burlap-wrapped bales containing 5-8-year-old Ecuadoran Sumatra and Connecticut Broadleaf. These tobaccos would ultimately form the building blocks of two limited edition blends. This collaboration is an opportunity to work with the hidden gems waiting to be discovered in the tobacco library.

Handcrafted at HATSA, Bolivar Cofradia Lost & Found comes in two varieties, Natural and Oscuro. Given the rarity of the tobaccos used in the blends, it will be released in a limited run of five packs. Called EMS, the natural blend features 5-8 year-aged Ecuadoran Sumatra wrapper, with a Connecticut Broadleaf binder and Dominican Habano filler. This is a mild to medium bodied smoke with subtle notes of pepper balanced by earth and sweetness. An approachable and symmetrical smoke, EMS delivers a smoking experience best compared to that of a vintage cigar.
