Foundation Cigar Co. Introduces The Wise Man (El Güegüense) Maduro

Foundation Cigar Company announced the release of The Wise Man (El Güegüense) Maduro, for IPCPR 2017 in Las Vegas, NV. The release provides for a line extension to Foundation’s premier brand released during IPCPR 2015.

The cigars will be available in twenty-five count boxes in five box pressed sizes and are being produced at TABSA in Esteli, Nicaragua. The varieties will include a 5 ½ x 50 Robusto, a 5 5/8 x 46 Corona Gorda, a 6 x 56 Toro Huaco, a 7 x 48 Churchill, and a 6 ¼ x 52 Torpedo. The cigars will be priced in the retail range of $9-$13.-.

Foundation Cigar Company President and master blender, Nicholas Melillo, blended The Wise Man (El Güegüense) Maduro using Nicaraguan filler tobaccos from Condega, Esteli, and Jalapa and a dark San Andrés Mexican Maduro wrapper. “I was looking to create a line extension with a whole different level of complexity and the San Andrès wrapper brings just that,” Melillo commented. “This cigar is a tribute to Nicaragua, its culture, its people, its land and the bridge between old world traditions and the new.”
