Foundation Cigar Company founder Nick Melillo set out to create a Maduro wrapped follow up to his enormously popular El Gueguense line, so he created the Foundation Wise Man Maduro cigars. El Gueguense is Spanish for “The Wise Man,” so for this offering he just chose to use the English translation, to make life simple. These dark beauties feature an oily, ebony-hue Mexican San Andrés Maduro wrapper paired with a premium blend of binder and long filler tobaccos from Condega, Estelí, and Jalapa—three of Nicaragua’s top growing regions. Medium to full body Maduro cigar fans will experience a hearty, sweet-smelling smoke brimming with bold, complex layers of peppery spice, leather, espresso, chocolate, and hints of cashews and honey.
