El Gueguense 5 Year Aniversario Perfecto 4 3/4 * 60, Box of 20

To celebrate the fifth anniversary of Foundation Cigars and the launch of the El Gueguense cigar, master blender and founder Nick Melillo created the El Gueguense 5 Year Aniversario. Expertly handmade at the Aganorsa Leaf factory in Nicaragua, the blend for this limited-edition stick uses a completely different blend than the original, which was a Nicaraguan puro. The El Guegunese 5 Year Aniversario sports a Nicaraguan Corojo ‘99 wrapper placed over a Mexican San Andres binder and a filler composed of premium tobaccos from Esteli and Jalapa, Nicaragua. The cigars are placed in a collector’s edition wooden box designed by Foundation’s art director Thief Operandi.

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 Maduro
Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Colorado maduro wrapper is milk chocolate brown.
Wrapper
Nicaraguan Corojo
The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Nicaraguan Corojo '99 tobacco originated as a wrapper leaf in 1999 in Cuba. The seeds of the original Corojo '99 seed were planted in Ecuador, and these in turn were transplanted to Nicaragua. The leaf is appreciated for its excellent wrapper qualities and spiciness.
Binder
Mexican San Andres
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
The San Andres region in Mexico is known for producing some of the best tobacco in the world. The tobacco is stalk cut and valued for its rich dark color and used to make noteworthy maduro wrappers and binders.
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
Aganorsa
Aganorsa Leaf (formerly known as Casa Fernandez) is one of Central America's largest tobacco growers. Their factory, Tabacalera Tropical, is located in Esteli, Nicaragua and employs hundreds of cigar rollers.

Aaron M.03/03/2023About: El Gueguense 5 Year Aniversario Perfecto 4"3/4 * 60

This cigar was highly disappointing for the price. The appearance was the best part about it. It is a beautiful smoke wrapped and band alike. It had a good draw and the burn constantly required attention. The aroma smelled like burning tobacco and the taste profile was bland and not complex. I would not recommend this cigar

Joseph O.02/11/2023About: El Gueguense 5 Year Aniversario Perfecto 4"3/4 * 60

Foundations with another spcial cigar, a Full flavored Corojo spice bomb.

Christopher C.10/27/2022About: El Gueguense 5 Year Aniversario Perfecto 4"3/4 * 60

Pretty strong for me, definitely something that I age for at least 6 months before smoking.
