Laudisi Enterprises, best known for its pipe tobacco pursuits, has acquired Caldwell Cigar Company and Lost & Found Cigars. Starting Friday, Laudisi will handle all Caldwell/Lost & Found fulfillment. The company will retain Caldwell founder Robert Caldwell and Caldwell co-founder Juan Jaramillo as part of its management team.
“I’ve personally been a huge fan of Robert Caldwell’s cigars since I walked into Liberty Tobacco in San Diego as a consumer about 10 years ago, and saw The King is Dead and Long Live the King on the shelf” Shane Ireland, vice president for retail at Laudisi Enterprises, said in a press release.. “When it became my responsibility to decide which cigars Smokingpipes and other Laudisi retail properties would carry, Caldwell was among the first brands I brought on. Naturally, we developed a very close partnership with Robert and his crew, and that relationship has continued to thrive over the years.”
Laudisi will exhibit Caldwell and Lost & Found cigars at the 2024 Premium Cigar Association Trade Show in Las Vegas March 22-25.
