Detailed Description
The Lost & Found 15 Minutes of Fame—also known as the “Cookie Monster”—embodies the adventurous spirit of Robert Caldwell’s renowned micro-batch brand. This cigar was released as a lancero, a favorite among purists for its ability to deliver concentrated, nuanced flavors in a slim, elegant silhouette. With only 750 bundles made, its rarity and charitable purpose have made it highly coveted among boutique cigar fans.
Each 15 Minutes of Fame Lancero is expertly constructed in the Dominican Republic, blending a Habano wrapper with an Ecuadorian Sumatra binder, and a rich combination of Honduran and Dominican fillers. The result is a medium-bodied smoke that boasts flavor consistency, slow burn, and superb craftsmanship—especially notable in the lancero format, which is notoriously difficult to roll perfectly.
Flavorwise, “Cookie Monster” delivers from the first spark: bold cocoa and deep earth frame the initial third. As the cigar progresses, a graham cracker sweetness and elegant floral notes emerge, followed by a finale that blends the warmth of brown sugar and more earth. Enthusiasts call attention to its great construction, clean burn, and complex transitions—making it a must-try for those who savor boutique cigars.

What a great cigar! This Lanerco is $6.40 on Oxford with Premiere. Which makes this cigar even better with the value. It starts off very flavorful. The consistent flavor note I got throughout the cigar was cocoa and a deep earthiness. In the second third, I picked up graham cracker and floral notes. The last third the floral note dropped and I only got graham cracker, cocoa and deep earthiness. Very good construction which is not easy with a Lanerco. I plan to get a box from Oxford.
