El Gueguense Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

Founder and owner of Foundation Cigar Company Nicholas Melillo created the El Gueguense Robusto, a medium to full-strength premium cigar, to honor the people, culture, and land of Nicaragua. A Nicaraguan puro, the El Gueguense sports a rustic, red-hued Colorado wrapper with a Jalapa binder and filler tobaccos from Jalapa and Esteli, two of Nicaragua’s top-tobacco producing regions. Handmade in Nicaragua, the El Gueguense exudes a memorable and flavorful profile consisting of cedar with hints of sweetness.
