Before it adopted the name Lost & Found, the project was initially known as Impromptu. Spearheaded by Tony Bellatto, Robert Caldwell, and Jaclyn Sears, the concept remains consistent. Caldwell scours cigar factories for overlooked treasures and imports them to the United States. Sears creates fresh artwork for each release, while Bellatto manages distribution and oversees the project. These aged and often forgotten cigars are sourced from top-tier factories in Central and South America, typically in limited batches, sometimes as few as 100 boxes or bundles.
