Foundation Cigar Company Begins Shipping New Wise Man Lancero

Foundation Cigar Company is proud to announce that the Wise Man Corojo Lancero and Wise Man Maduro Lancero vitolas are officially shipping this week to select tobacconists across the United States.

Originally unveiled at the 2025 PCA Trade Show in New Orleans, these new 7 x 40 Lanceros are the latest additions to the Wise Man portfolio.

“These vitolas represent a deep connection to my roots as a blender and to my grandfather, who always appreciated the elegance of the Lancero format,” said Nicholas Melillo, Founder and Master Blender of Foundation Cigar Company. “We’ve taken two of our most complex blends—Corojo and Maduro—and refined them into something truly special. Now it’s time to share that experience with cigar lovers across the country.”

• The Wise Man Corojo Lancero is a Nicaraguan puro, featuring a Corojo 99 wrapper over filler tobaccos from Estelí and Jalapa.
• The Wise Man Maduro Lancero pairs a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper with a San Andrés binder and Nicaraguan fillers.

Both vitolas are offered in 20-count boxes. Retailers selected for the initial rollout will begin receiving product this week, with broader availability expected later this fall.
