Wrapped in a dark, hearty Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro, bound with Habano Nicaraguan, and filled with a 100% Nicaraguan blend, this cigar delivers a robust, medium-to-full-bodied smoking experience. Made of either a Connecticut Shade, or a Connecticut Broadleaf, wrapper and fillers from the Jalapa and Estelí regions of Nicaragua, the Charter Oak elicits a creamy flavor accented with chocolate, and hints of roasted nuts and pepper. Broadleaf Tasting Notes: Earth, Chocolate, Cream, Nougat, Espresso, Caramel, Cedar, Walnut Charter Oak Ct Broadleaf pays tribute to Melillo's grandfather who, while earning a modest salary working for the Winchester Repeating Arms factory after WWII, smoked exclusively Connecticut Broadleaf cigars. The choice was easy, and in 2015 Foundation Cigar Company was born, all for the love of the leaf. Nick's cigar journey started in high school, on Saturdays he would go for a smoke with his grandfather and brother at their local shop in New Haven, Connecticut. An homage to the rich history of Foundation Cigar Company's home state of Connecticut, and to Nicholas Melillo's grandfather who, while earning a modest salary at the Winchester Factory after WWII, smoked exclusively Connecticut Broadleaf Cigars. Long before Dutch settlers landed on American shores, the Native Americans cultivated tobacco and held councils beneath the massive branches of the Charter Oak tree. It is a sacred tree and is a long-standing symbol of independence. Charter Oak cigars hail from the same fertile valley in Connecticut that native son Nicholas Melillo was born and raised in, and through this ancient lineage these cigars preserve and celebrate that lesser-known element, that sacred element, of Connecticut tobacco's rich and storied history. The Charter Oak CT Broadleaf Toro is a well-constructed cigar that delivers excellent draw and an even burn throughout the smoke. This cigar is perfect for those who enjoy a bold yet refined smoking experience, with the medium body allowing it to be versatile for both new cigar enthusiasts and seasoned smokers. Price doesn't factor into our scoring, but it's worth noting that this is very budget friendly. Those that find this profile enjoyable may welcome a new daily smoke into their rotation.
