El Gueguense Robusto 5 1/2 * 50, Box of 25

El Gueguense Toro Huaco 6 * 56, Box of 25

El Gueguense (pronounced Way-Wen-Say) is the first cigar released by Foundation Cigar Company after founder Nick Melillo left Drew Estate to start his own venture. The cigar is a Nicaraguan puro made in Nicaragua and the unusual name comes from a satirical folkloric character El Gueguense or "Wise Man".

Cigar Origin
Nicaragua
Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
Despite many decades of war and revolution in this Central American country, the cigar industry has thrived due to the hard work and tenacity of Cuban exiles to the land such as Plasencia, Padron, Oliva, Ortez, and others. Tobacco has been a force of social stability, and the country is now one of the principal exporters of premium cigars in the world.
Strength

Medium
Wrapper Color
Colorado
Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Colorado is a medium brown color also known as EMS or English Market Selection as this used to be the color with more popularity in England than in America.
Wrapper
Nicaraguan
The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Nicaraguan cigar wrappers are produced mainly in Esteli and Jalapa, both lands with volcanic soil and excellent climate for growing tobacco. Wrappers grown in Jalapa have sweet undertones. Corojo, Habana2000, Criollo, and Maduro wrappers are all produced in Nicaragua.
Binder
Jalapa
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
Jalapa is a tobacco-producing region in Nicaragua. It is known for its fertile land, and the tobacco grown there is one of superior quality and flavor.
Filler
Jalapa
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
Esteli
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
Rolled by
Handmade
Handmade cigars are completely made by hand from start to finish.
Manufacturer
The Foundation Cigar Co.
Founded in 2015 by Nicholas Melillo, The Foundation Cigar Co. is dedicated to crafting handmade premium cigars. The company is headquartered in Connecticut. El Gueguense, The Wise Man Maduro, The Tabernacle, Charter Oak and Highclere Castle are some of the lines produced by The Foundation Cigar Co.

Wl J.08/06/2023About: El Gueguense Macho Raton Perfecto 4"3/4 * 60

This is a great morning stick flavors are there

Matthew A.07/23/2023About: El Gueguense Macho Raton Perfecto 4"3/4 * 60

Was looking forward to smoke this but both labels were stuck to the wrap so the cigar unraveled. Poor quality control and a shame for a stunning cigar.

Michael B.06/18/2023About: El Gueguense Macho Raton Perfecto 4"3/4 * 60

Great cigar. Nice peppery flavor, good burn, and lots of fragrant smoke.

Guy Y.05/08/2023About: El Gueguense Macho Raton Perfecto 4"3/4 * 60

Good little cigar.

Toby M.02/11/2023About: El Gueguense Corona Gorda 5"5/8 * 46

Awesome mild cigar. Highly recommended

Jorge D.02/02/2023About: El Gueguense Macho Raton Perfecto 4"3/4 * 60

Good everyday stick

Oscar C.01/05/2023About: El Gueguense Macho Raton Perfecto 4"3/4 * 60

I have always enjoyed this product, is definitely a good 25 min smoke. The beginning is a little leathery but the first is definitely smoother.

Alex B.12/28/2022About: El Gueguense Corona Gorda 5"5/8 * 46

Really enjoyed this cigar. Cedar, spice, cacao, slight creamy sweetness all in a great medium strength cigar. The draw was a little tight but how tightly packed it is also leads to a satisfying volume of smoke.

Kelvin B.12/15/2022About: El Gueguense Toro Huaco 6" * 56

Full of flavor start to finish

Mark L.12/12/2022About: El Gueguense Toro Huaco 6" * 56

Great spicy, peppery woody and earthy cigar. I'm a big fan of this one.

Matthew A.07/23/2023About: El Gueguense Corona Gorda 5"5/8 * 46

The Colorado wrapper gives an appearance of a lesser cigar but it has a great draw for a smaller ring gauge and a mild flavor. Great cigar.

12/11/2022About: El Gueguense Toro Huaco 6" * 56

Is hard cigar

Ben L.10/23/2022About: El Gueguense Macho Raton Perfecto 4"3/4 * 60

Foundation delivers with another amazing smoke. This is probably my favorite size of the Gueguense. If I could find a box I'd buy one.

Mariusz K.10/23/2022About: El Gueguense Macho Raton Perfecto 4"3/4 * 60

Nice

Chris W.10/18/2022About: El Gueguense Toro Huaco 6" * 56

A strong smoke

Jason G.10/16/2022About: El Gueguense Macho Raton Perfecto 4"3/4 * 60

Large plumes of sweet corojo smoke. Great draw and very comfortable for its size. Tasty!

Glen W.10/12/2022About: El Gueguense Macho Raton Perfecto 4"3/4 * 60

Solid cigar

Good cigar, burns well

Zak D.10/04/2022About: El Gueguense Corona Gorda 5"5/8 * 46

Something about this one was a little off for me. Not sure what it was.

Timothy M.09/26/2022About: El Gueguense Macho Raton Perfecto 4"3/4 * 60

Very good cigar for the price

Mikhail K.09/24/2022About: El Gueguense Macho Raton Perfecto 4"3/4 * 60

i like it

Rene G.07/08/2022About: El Gueguense Corona Gorda 5"5/8 * 46

Very good for an everyday cigar.

Christopher C.06/28/2022About: El Gueguense Corona Gorda 5"5/8 * 46

This is a cigar that doesn't get slot of shine, but light one up, and you're in for an assertive flavor experience!

Johnny B.06/23/2022About: El Gueguense Corona Gorda 5"5/8 * 46

terrific cigar!

Tyler S.05/23/2022About: El Gueguense Corona Gorda 5"5/8 * 46

Very good medium to full stick. Woody flavors with some earth and cherry notes.

Lance C.04/27/2022About: El Gueguense Toro Huaco 6" * 56

Ok smoke.

John M.02/20/2022About: El Gueguense Toro Huaco 6" * 56

This is an excellent cigar! I will definitely add this to my stock list.

Jeremy H.02/06/2022About: El Gueguense Corona Gorda 5"5/8 * 46

A nice interplay of salty and meaty with a creamy vanilla sweetness with an underlying trace of pepper. Decent draw and excellent burn. Smoked this stick with a Wise Man maduro and it was an excellent compliment to it. A solid hour long smoke overall.

Deves H.09/27/2021About: El Gueguense Toro Huaco 6" * 56

Easy smoke

Jay B.08/27/2021About: El Gueguense Toro Huaco 6" * 56

Wow. Starts medium. Ends full. Super tasty. Perfect build. About perfect.

Shaun M.08/24/2021About: El Gueguense Toro Huaco 6" * 56

I really enjoyed this cigar. The mix of the Jalapa and Esteli filler is perfect. Nice and sweet cigar.

Francisco T.08/20/2021About: El Gueguense Corona Gorda 5"5/8 * 46

One of the top Foundation cigars in the best size.

Justin W.06/24/2021About: El Gueguense Corona Gorda 5"5/8 * 46

Great little smoke. Peppery in the first half inch that settles into a very maple like sweet finish throughout the rest. Draw is tighter than my liking but not too out of the ordinary for this smaller format

Mark H.06/11/2021About: El Gueguense Corona Gorda 5"5/8 * 46

Nice sweet wrapper with amazing flavor and hints of dark chocolate.

Jeffrey P.06/08/2021About: El Gueguense Toro Huaco 6" * 56

Always enjoy anything from foundation cigars

Daniel C.05/18/2021About: El Gueguense Corona Gorda 5"5/8 * 46

The best size for this blend

Subrata B.04/02/2021About: El Gueguense Corona Gorda 5"5/8 * 46

Good

Phillip B.03/26/2021About: El Gueguense Corona Gorda 5"5/8 * 46

Very dry smoke. Leaves me parched.

Anthony M.03/09/2021About: El Gueguense Corona Gorda 5"5/8 * 46

minor wrapper sweetness. earthy profile with hints of coco.

SH L.02/08/2021About: El Gueguense Corona Gorda 5"5/8 * 46

This and the maduro. Both good sticks

Jose H.01/24/2021About: El Gueguense Toro Huaco 6" * 56

Good

Timothy M.01/14/2021About: El Gueguense Toro Huaco 6" * 56

Very good cigar for the price and flavor notes.

Francis L.11/26/2020About: El Gueguense Toro Huaco 6" * 56

Medium bodied complex smoke, less aggressive than the wise mana maduro. Enjoyable flavors of cacao, nut with leather on the forefront. Had a few burn issues probably because of the ring gauge.

ROBBIE H.10/19/2020About: El Gueguense Corona Gorda 5"5/8 * 46

I liked it enough to buy more!

Theodore D.09/02/2020About: El Gueguense Corona Gorda 5"5/8 * 46

It was a medium to medium plus flavoured cigar. Milky cocoa with some oak and mild earth. The retro hale had some light leather and a white pepper that was moderate. No touch ups were required but the burn had to be babied and the draw was a little tight, with some double puffs required and a few re-lights. There were no transitions in flavour, which is fine. The cigar was nice but nothing special.

Marcos L.08/22/2020About: El Gueguense Corona Gorda 5"5/8 * 46

Good cigar, the burn wasn’t that great but the flavors were there.

Felix C.08/01/2020About: El Gueguense Corona Gorda 5"5/8 * 46

Disappointed, I don't know if the one I touched was bad but if I can say that the smell was ammonia and the bad combustion the first third was good but it was very unpleasant! I don't think I know another chance“

06/29/2020About: El Gueguense Toro Huaco 6" * 56

Nice looking cigar with a beautiful band. Medium to full-bodied. Nice smoke output and great Nicaraguan flavors.

Jaime V.06/29/2020About: El Gueguense Corona Gorda 5"5/8 * 46

Love this thing. Highly recommended.

Ron E.06/19/2020About: El Gueguense Toro Huaco 6" * 56

good cigar though not as good as many reviews IMO. Flavor was better in the corona size

Michael B.06/17/2020About: El Gueguense Toro Huaco 6" * 56

I liked this cigar very much. It's a bit spicy but very flavorful. It did burn a little quicker than I expected for the size, but the payoffs were worth it. It was my first try with this stick, but I will be buying again soon to determine if it will fit into my rotation. Draws easy and smells great. Will smoke again.

Alejandro M.06/16/2020About: El Gueguense Corona Gorda 5"5/8 * 46

Great cigar!

Lee E.05/10/2020About: El Gueguense Toro Huaco 6" * 56

Medium bodied with a touch of cedar, hazelnut, and spice.

Jamal M.04/20/2020About: El Gueguense Toro Huaco 6" * 56

Nice

peter r.03/19/2020About: El Gueguense Corona Gorda 5"5/8 * 46

Mine had a bad draw so taste was up and down. Can't gauge yet. But I want to try again

Frank Guzzo02/13/2020About: El Gueguense Corona Gorda 5"5/8 * 46

Great cigar definitely getting more !!

Aldo D.01/14/2020About: El Gueguense Toro Huaco 6" * 56

Creamy, leather, nutty, cocoa with some spice. Medium to full, very smooth. Four out of 5 Robustos had a medium draw.

James P.12/11/2019About: El Gueguense Corona Gorda 5"5/8 * 46

I really enjoy smoking these. Great to keep around and the friends always love em. Nice medium taste

Matt F.10/28/2019About: El Gueguense Corona Gorda 5"5/8 * 46

Pre-light: Caramel, Graham cracker, cedar. 1/3: Black pepper, sweet tobacco, wood, cream, nuttiness, almond, leather and coffee. Ash dropped fairly quickly. 2/3: Peanuts, chocolate and wood. Minor touch up required. 3/3: Earthy, wood and some leather. I enjoyed this cigar quite a bit. Burn was pretty good, requiring just a small touch up. Lots of smoke output with a nice draw. Definitely give it a try, I will be smoking more of these. Final smoke time 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Jason H.10/20/2019About: El Gueguense Corona Gorda 5"5/8 * 46

Just an ok cigar for me, draw was a little snug.

Joey S.09/22/2019About: El Gueguense Toro Huaco 6" * 56

Great stick

Luis B.09/09/2019About: El Gueguense Corona Gorda 5"5/8 * 46

Enjoyed it til the last draw.

Chris M.08/29/2019About: El Gueguense Corona Gorda 5"5/8 * 46

Excellent cigar! Rich aromatics and robust flavor make this one I'll always be happy to go back to. It was recommended many times by many people so I had to try.

Robert R.08/22/2019About: El Gueguense Corona Gorda 5"5/8 * 46

Medium body. White pepper spice with a vanilla or molasses sweetness. Notes of nuts also. Subtle but delicious. A personal favorite.

Travis R.08/14/2019About: El Gueguense Corona Gorda 5"5/8 * 46

A great stick from Foundation...Highly recommend giving this one a try. Delicious & a favorite! ????

Edwin R.08/07/2019About: El Gueguense Toro Huaco 6" * 56

Nick has really created a masterpiece

Jamil M.08/05/2019About: El Gueguense Toro Huaco 6" * 56

The barbecue spiciness begins a huge upswing in second third of the El Güegüense, easily becoming the dominant flavor, followed by notes of mesquite, bitter espresso, roasted nuts, gritty earth, leather and powdery cocoa.

Ron E.07/27/2019About: El Gueguense Corona Gorda 5"5/8 * 46

Nice cigar but the burn was a bit wacky, perhaps due to the smaller ring gauge. I have the 56, hope that one performs better

Michael C.07/06/2019About: El Gueguense Corona Gorda 5"5/8 * 46

Really good smoke.

Ozzie H.05/04/2019About: El Gueguense Toro Huaco 6" * 56

Tasty

Jerzell B.04/09/2019About: El Gueguense Toro Huaco 6" * 56

This is a super premium cigar, so I expected more from it. It was not a satisfying smoke at all; rather bitter and off putting flavor. I have another, so maybe it needs to st a while before I try it again.

Edwin P.03/19/2019About: El Gueguense Toro Huaco 6" * 56

I was not impressed with this cigar. The burn was inconsistent and it’s just didn’t live up to what I was anticipating.

Ronnie J.03/04/2019About: El Gueguense Toro Huaco 6" * 56

This is my favorite cigar to date. very tasty.

Josue M.02/01/2019About: El Gueguense Corona Gorda 5"5/8 * 46

Great cigar.

James M.01/28/2019About: El Gueguense Corona Gorda 5"5/8 * 46

Heavy smoke with notes of coffee and sweetness. A woody flavor on the finish. Very good cigar.

Josue M.01/26/2019About: El Gueguense Toro Huaco 6" * 56

Good-looking and tasty cigar

Eric S.01/23/2019About: El Gueguense Corona Gorda 5"5/8 * 46

enjoyable stick. I like a creamy smoke and this didn't disappoint.

Daniel S.01/21/2019About: El Gueguense Toro Huaco 6" * 56

Nice size large cigar that's not to strong.

Roland S.11/09/2018About: El Gueguense Toro Huaco 6" * 56

Very good slow burner

Christian M.08/29/2018About: El Gueguense Toro Huaco 6" * 56

Drew Estate did it again, highly recommended!

Karl W.07/12/2018About: El Gueguense Toro Huaco 6" * 56

Excellent evening smoke.

Paul E.07/10/2018About: El Gueguense Toro Huaco 6" * 56

Awesome Smoke...

Alan W.05/07/2018About: El Gueguense Corona Gorda 5"5/8 * 46

Beautiful looking stick at my preferred size, with a lot of sweet flavors mixed with spice and nuts.

Salvatore Fiumefreddo05/04/2018About: El Gueguense Toro Huaco 6" * 56

One of my favorites

andrew k.03/15/2018About: El Gueguense Corona Gorda 5"5/8 * 46

Great pull and nice burn produced plentiful amounts of billowy smoke. Delivered black tea and mild pepper flavors, with a small hint of sweet charred woodiness. Flavors were balanced, layered and rounded with smooth finish throughout the entire experience. This El Güegüense Corona Gorda 5 5/8 x46 is a very enjoyable 90 minute smoke.

Edwin A.03/14/2018About: El Gueguense Corona Gorda 5"5/8 * 46

Pretty good , quiet some overpriced

josh s.03/01/2018About: El Gueguense Corona Gorda 5"5/8 * 46

great size, construction, burn. Packed with flavor, will order again

John S.01/16/2018About: El Gueguense Corona Gorda 5"5/8 * 46

Here’s an over priced piece of crap. This goes to show you just because something cost a lot doesn’t make it better. The burn on these cigars is horrible. Tastes like it was washed in dirty socks water.

John S.01/16/2018About: El Gueguense Toro Huaco 6" * 56

Rusty iron reddish color. Every time I’ve smoked a cigar with a rosado wrapper two things happen and I swear it never fails, 1. The cigar has a nice aroma. 2. The cigar has a crappy burn, and needs many, many touch ups, canoes, etc. This cigar was no exception. I will not purchase another one.

Joseph F.12/21/2017About: El Gueguense Corona Gorda 5"5/8 * 46

A friend recommended this one, was surprised on how good it is

Daniel W.10/25/2017About: El Gueguense Toro Huaco 6" * 56

A well balanced smoke in the medium to strong range. Burned a little unevenly. Comparable to an Undercrown but not quite as good

Jason M.06/29/2017About: El Gueguense Toro Huaco 6" * 56

Flavorfilled, creamy smoke, and consistent burn. Cant ask for more in a smoke, glad neptune is now stocking these!
