Led by Nicholas Melillo (formerly of Drew Estate), Foundation Cigar Co. produces El Gueguense in Esteli, Nicaragua at the Tabacos Valle De Jalapa S.A factory and is known for its diverse mix of Nicaraguan tobaccos including a variety of Corojo and Criollo wrappers from Jalapa and Esteli.

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.

El Gueguense 5 Year Aniversario

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.

Wrapper Color
Maduro
Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Maduro wrapper can go from dark coffee brown with a reddish tint to blackish brown (the latter also called Oscuro).
Wrapper
Mexican
The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Mexican tobacco is very dark and the best leaves can be used as maduro wrappers. In San Andres de Tuxtla (in the state of Vera Cruz), there is a very interesting production of Sumatra seed wrappers. Dark air cured tobaccos are produced in Mexico, mainly in Vera Cruz and Tampico provinces, on the East Coast along the Gulf. There is also some production in Yucatan. Mexico's volcanic soil yields tobacco that is spicy and earthy, with a very distinctive flavor.
Binder
Nicaragua
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
Nicaraguan cigar binders are produced mainly in Esteli and Jalapa, both lands with volcanic soil and excellent climate for growing tobacco. Binders grown in Jalapa have sweet undertones. Corojo, Habana2000, Criollo, and Maduro binders are all produced in Nicaragua.
Corojo
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
Corojo tobacco was first developed in Cuba in the 1930s and quickly became popular as the wrapper on some of the best cigars. By the end of the 90s, Cuba stopped growing Corojo because of its susceptibility to pests and diseases. Ironically, Corojo has since become more popular outside of Cuba, as it has been replicated in tobacco farms in Nicaragua, Honduras, Ecuador and the Dominican Republic.

Enjoyable cigar

Jude T.12/18/2020About: El Gueguense 5 Year Aniversario Perfecto 4"3/4 * 60

Starts out with chocolate milk and cocoa flavor. Transitions into toasted coconut and toffee.

Daniel W.12/18/2020About: El Gueguense 5 Year Aniversario Perfecto 4"3/4 * 60

A great addition to the Foundation line. Burn is a little uneven but as always the taste is great.

Patrick12/15/2020About: El Gueguense 5 Year Aniversario Perfecto 4"3/4 * 60

Excellent cigar, great flavor and draw.

Junior S.12/11/2020About: The Wise Man Maduro Toro Huaco 6" * 56

Great smoke, best had in a smaller ring gauge. For a 56rg it's still smoke great, flavor are a bit washed.

Tim F.12/08/2020About: The Wise Man Maduro Toro Huaco 6" * 56

Just okay. Hard draw, an unremarkable flavors. Significantly overpriced for what it is - I do not recommend.

Husain F.12/05/2020About: The Wise Man Maduro Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

Fantastic

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.

J J.11/17/2020About: The Wise Man Maduro Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

Good dark flavors will buy again

Vivian B.11/17/2020About: El Gueguense 5 Year Aniversario Perfecto 4"3/4 * 60

Very nice cigar, another winner, will smoke this cigar again. I recommend them

Shaun M.11/17/2020About: El Gueguense 5 Year Aniversario Perfecto 4"3/4 * 60

Great cigar. Wish they would have made more.

Frank B.11/07/2020About: The Wise Man Maduro Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

Thoroughly underwhelming. Tight draw, wonky burn. Muddled one dimensional flavor profile. For the price I just don’t get it.

Jeremy H.11/01/2020About: The Wise Man Maduro Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

My second time smoking this little beauty. I remember the first one blowing my socks off. More restrained reaction the second time but I still enjoy it for the excellent appearance n construction along with the complex aroma n taste. The draw was a bit tight this time but still a decent smoky plume and it helped the cigar last a bit longer for my enjoyment. I love the band. Well worth a return visit...

Charles M.10/20/2020About: The Wise Man Maduro Toro Huaco 6" * 56

Huge fan of the Wise Man line. I was expecting a little stronger smoke, but I was not disappointed. It draws and burns really well. Great aroma and flavor. Very happy with this cigar

ROBBIE H.10/19/2020About: The Wise Man Maduro Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

Going to buy more! Common stick it my humidor!

Brandon P.10/15/2020About: The Wise Man Maduro Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

Tight on the draw for me, but not a huge fan of box pressed, great flavor.

Jake K.10/13/2020About: The Wise Man Maduro Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

Hands down one of my favorites.

Deves H.09/28/2020About: The Wise Man Maduro Toro Huaco 6" * 56

Very smooth and enjoyable!!! I paired it with Graham’s vintage Port . This was an outstanding combination

Thanakorn C.09/23/2020About: The Wise Man Maduro Lancero 7"1/2 * 40

A smooth smoke with great flavour. Though much more subtle than the robusto version that was much more spicier. I enjoyed this version more. Although it burnt very fast for its length.

EMMANUEL R.09/21/2020About: The Wise Man Maduro Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

Bien mais sans plus.

Kevin K.09/16/2020About: The Wise Man Maduro Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

Pleasant surprise. This is an amazing cigar.

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.

Harrison T.08/25/2020About: The Wise Man Maduro Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

Excellent cigar.

Kris S.08/23/2020About: The Wise Man Maduro Lancero 7"1/2 * 40

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.

Ociya_Syndor08/06/2020About: The Wise Man Maduro Lancero 7"1/2 * 40

a great lancero, but even better in wider gauges.

Junior S.12/11/2020About: The Wise Man Maduro Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

Chocolate, Earth, pepper and spice. One of the best cigar I have ever smoke.

Francis L.11/26/2020About: The Wise Man Maduro Toro Huaco 6" * 56

Lives up to its hype, bold complex flavors but I personally struggled with this ring gauge. It was the only one available at the time.

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

I liked it enough to buy more!

EMMANUEL R.09/21/2020About: The Wise Man Maduro Lancero 7"1/2 * 40

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“

Israel E.07/10/2020About: The Wise Man Maduro Lancero 7"1/2 * 40

Mark J.06/17/2020About: The Wise Man Maduro Toro Huaco 6" * 56

Great cigar

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.

Mark J.06/16/2020About: The Wise Man Maduro Lancero 7"1/2 * 40

Ronnie J.05/26/2020About: The Wise Man Maduro Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

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

Edwin R.03/17/2020About: The Wise Man Maduro Lancero 7"1/2 * 40

If you haven’t, try this Nicaraguan beauty

Ivon02/28/2020About: The Wise Man Maduro Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

So interesting and complex I got lost trying to remember all the flavors. This is one cigar you can't just smoke once and make a final judgement. But one is enough to be sure you have to smoke another.

Robert W.02/20/2020About: The Wise Man Maduro Toro Huaco 6" * 56

This has been in my humidor for over a year. It has some beautiful oily buds on its oily wrapper. Nicely rolled and has a nice heft in the hand. Burns evenly with an even draw. Another beauty from Foundation Cigars. After the first inch of burn beautiful notes of charred cocoa, expresso and caramel show up in the copious smoke cloud it produces. It's a strong cigar but smooth with no bite. These were always good but they definitely got even better in the humidor after a few months.Get yourself a box and invest in yourt future.

Robert W.02/20/2020About: The Wise Man Maduro Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

It's a nice oily, veiny wrapper with a little sheen on it. Nicely rolled with no soft spots or separations. Perfect draw and mostly even burn. Nice smoke producer. A very nice aroma of floral , alcohol and vanilla from initial light off. Eventually the floral/alcohol is replaced by caramel and toasty bread and Nutella notes.

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

Great cigar definitely getting more !!

Eric D.01/23/2020About: The Wise Man Maduro Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

Martin T.01/20/2020About: The Wise Man Maduro Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

Even burn

Aldo D.01/14/2020About: The Wise Man Maduro Toro Huaco 6" * 56

Rich oily cigar. Definitely notes of coffee, cacao and some pepper. Full bodied smooth cigar. Slow burner. Toasted version of the Gueguense, great stick!!

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.

Adir K.01/07/2020About: The Wise Man Maduro Toro Huaco 6" * 56

Honestly not a fan, not sure what all the hype is about. and I'm a foundation fan boy. nick's other blends are mind blowing but this one fell flat. uneven burn. almost a plugged draw and an odd cloying fruity sweetness that just did not hit me right...sorry foundation your other blends rock, but this one fell short for me

Lewis D.01/06/2020About: The Wise Man Maduro Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

This was a pretty good smoke and definitely full bodied. It wasn't the most complex or anything but the last 1/3 it became especially spicy and strong. I'll give some other cigars a try in this range before I return to this one.

Charles R.12/17/2019About: The Wise Man Maduro Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

Was very disappointed.

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

Lance H.12/09/2019About: The Wise Man Maduro Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

Fantastic smoke!

Michael B.11/21/2019About: The Wise Man Maduro Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

prelight draw, mix of cedar with some coffee. This is strong but very well balanced and goes from sweet to spicy on transitions. This burned great and had a decent draw. Chocolate was the main upfront flavor note and had a bit of pepper on the retohale with some bite to it. By the end the coffee comes up to the front with some earthiness in the background. The intensity on the strength does pick up from 2nd to final 3rd. Have this after a nice dinner on a full stomach. Very good no harshness at the end.

William E.11/20/2019About: The Wise Man Maduro Lancero 7"1/2 * 40

Another winner by Foundation cigars. Can’t go wrong with these.

Ronald M.11/14/2019About: The Wise Man Maduro Lancero 7"1/2 * 40

I’ve always enjoyed Foundation cigars, and this was no exception. Elite company, that is putting out elite sticks. This was a very good cigar. Great burn, and burn time. Complex, dense, flavorful smoke. I’ll be reviewing this and put on my YouTube channel “RonRealTV”.

Nadeem Wali11/14/2019About: The Wise Man Maduro Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

definitely deserves the 3rd best cigar of the year!

Kyle B.11/10/2019About: The Wise Man Maduro Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

William R.11/01/2019About: The Wise Man Maduro Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

Fantastic smoke from start to finish.

Matt F.10/29/2019About: The Wise Man Maduro Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

Pre-light: Faint chocolate, coffee, cedar, earth. 1/3: Red and black pepper, coffee, generic sweetness, wood, mesquite and earth. Bit of a snug draw at first but it opened up. Producing lots of smoke since the light up. Minor touch up needed.2/3: Pepper has faded. Nuttiness, coffee, generic tobacco. Flavors have mellowed out. 3/3: Earth, coffee and some wood. Very smooth stick and a slow burner. Lacked a bit in the transitions department but consistent flavors were good. Cigar did go out on me once requiring a re-light. Final smoke time 1 hour and 25 minutes. I preferred the non maduro version El Guenuense over this but this was enjoyable. Worth a try.

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.

shamim f.10/22/2019About: The Wise Man Maduro Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

Incredible cigar! Sweet taste, toasty. Didn't leave a nasty flavor in my mouth the next morning at all!

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

Ashley A.09/15/2019About: The Wise Man Maduro Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

Really enjoyed this Cigar,the aroma of the smoke reminds me when l was a kid and Old Men smoked them in the Streets..........

Fabio T.09/10/2019About: The Wise Man Maduro Toro Huaco 6" * 56

Another winner from Nick Melillo!

Enjoyed it til the last draw.

Nice smoke

Benjamin M.09/04/2019About: The Wise Man Maduro Toro Huaco 6" * 56

Good but not great. This is at least the 2nd one I've smoked, it had been in my humidor for a while. A medium-bodied maduro with great consistency of flavor (what you'd expect) and no real spice. Lacks the refinement and/or depth I've found in some more expensive sticks (e.g., Alma Fuerte, Padron 1926/1964), but obviously it has a lower price point. Still, for the price, I've had some more rewarding experiences recently. It's not bad by any means, just nothing stood out at me. I think the Robusto vitola delivers more flavor / a better experience, the Toro size seems to water down some of what makes the Robusto have some zaaz.

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.

William R.08/28/2019About: The Wise Man Maduro Toro Huaco 6" * 56

Wonderful cigar. Well worth the money.

gemal r.08/26/2019About: The Wise Man Maduro Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

excellent cigar, nice smoke and draw

Robert R.08/22/2019About: The Wise Man Maduro Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

M/F strength. Peppery start, giving way to a sweet, banana bread taste I loved. Continued sweetness with pepper notes. Delicious smoke.

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.

Jose T.08/14/2019About: The Wise Man Maduro Toro Huaco 6" * 56

this cigar is one of a kind, really great smoke i will buy more

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

Love this Wiseman in lancero. Excellent taste. Wont disappoint

Francis L.08/11/2019About: The Wise Man Maduro Lancero 7"1/2 * 40

Best vitola in the wise man maduro line. Amazing flavors

Mori D.08/07/2019About: The Wise Man Maduro Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

It’s a good cigar but not as highly rated as I’ve been reading. The flavors were evenly balanced so nothing really stood out with this smoke.

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.

oscar y.08/03/2019About: The Wise Man Maduro Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

Very nice cigar. I would recommend it has a nice flavor profile smooth with hints of coffee and cocoa. The smoke is a bit dry but a enjoyable cigar.

John M.07/31/2019About: The Wise Man Maduro Toro Huaco 6" * 56

Full of flavor

Carter M.07/29/2019About: The Wise Man Maduro Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

Foundation cigars is on top of the cigar world and this is their masterpiece. If you haven't picked up one yet you absolutely should.

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

Eric S.07/19/2019About: The Wise Man Maduro Lancero 7"1/2 * 40

I enjoy a lancero cigar once in a while and this one is a good one. I will say that I prefer the Wiseman in the Robusto size, a little smoother. Having said that if you like fuller bodied lancero’s you should give this a try.

Charles W.07/12/2019About: The Wise Man Maduro Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

First time smoking this. Don’t know what took me so long. This is a fantastic smoke!

David M.07/08/2019About: The Wise Man Maduro Lancero 7"1/2 * 40

This is an absolute must smoke if you have not tried one before. The flavor is spot on in the Wiseman Maduro and the Lancero Vitola only enhances those flavors.

Michael C.07/06/2019About: The Wise Man Maduro Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

Another Foundation Stick that checks off all the requirements if a great 'Gar

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

One of my favorites on the top 25 list. Really nice to smoke and will order more!

WT H.06/18/2019About: The Wise Man Maduro Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

Received a single as part of a father's day gift and was anxious to enjoy the #3 CA rate stick from 2018. First inspection reveals a well constructed cigar with an attractive if a bit underwhelming band. The light was an easy one and the burn even despite the fact that midway thru I had some issues with it staying lit. Wise Man has some pronounced flavors: Earth, aged wood, slight cinnamon and an overwhelming pepper note. The problem I experienced is that the flavors did not marry well. It was as if they all were distinct and fighting each other for supremacy during the smoke. Perhaps additional time on the humidor would help or perhaps my stick was an outlier. In any event, I was expecting considerably more from the #3 cigar of 2018 and a 95 rating. I was disappointed.... 89.

Timothy P.06/13/2019About: The Wise Man Maduro Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

A solid, well constructed stick that delivers a balanced full flavor profile with a touch of pepper. Lots of smoke with an easy draw. Used a V-cut and had no issues with draw or burn.

Mark B.06/12/2019About: The Wise Man Maduro Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

There's a reason why thus stick is top rated

Steve Elam06/04/2019About: The Wise Man Maduro Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

Great!

Chris M.05/16/2019About: The Wise Man Maduro Lancero 7"1/2 * 40

I agree with the other comments, Lanceros are amazing at bringing out an incredible amount of flavor. This is one of the best Lanceros I've had on top of that. Pure and rich flavors are abundant, and everything is 5 stars across the board. Bravo to Wise Man!

D. L.05/13/2019About: The Wise Man Maduro Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

Has become one of my favorites. Pepper and what I thought was coffee or exresso taste. Was a short smoke since gauge was not big, but taste won me over.

Frank S.05/08/2019About: The Wise Man Maduro Toro Huaco 6" * 56

Deep rich flavors as you would expect from a maduro wrapper cigar from Nick. though I really enjoy these I would have to say I like the original wise man better, but that's just my preference.

Brian S.05/07/2019About: The Wise Man Maduro Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

Agree with last reviewer in that this cigar is a MUST for anyone into medium to full bodied cigars. Reminds me of a Liga Privada in terms of excellent draw and creamy smoke, yet at 2/3rds of the price and a bit milder. Glad I bought into the hype on this one!

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

Tasty

Curtis Y.04/28/2019About: The Wise Man Maduro Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

If you have not tried the Wiseman Maduro Robusto and you are a fan of medium to full-bodied cigars, then you are doing yourself a disservice - this 5 1/2 by 50 is a gem. The cigar is wrapped in Mexican San Andres, with a Corojo binder and Nicaraguan filler, giving this cigar a complex flavor profile. As you smoke the cigar, you will pick up notes of black pepper, some sweetness, nut and earth. The cigar is not overwhelming so it's a nice one to smoke, especially for anyone who is trying a medium to full-bodied blend for the first time.

Fernando G.04/26/2019About: The Wise Man Maduro Lancero 7"1/2 * 40

I really enjoyed this lancero

Allen R.04/19/2019About: The Wise Man Maduro Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

Chuck V.04/15/2019About: The Wise Man Maduro Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

This is a tasty smoke with hints of chocolate, nuts and pepper. I’ll have to keep a few in my stash.

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.

John S.04/04/2019About: The Wise Man Maduro Toro Huaco 6" * 56

Tasty as always.

Benjamin M.02/10/2019About: The Wise Man Maduro Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

Interesting little stick. Had never heard of it before it popped up here in top rated lists. For $10, it's a good deal. Starts smooth and suave and held this through the mid-point. Final 1/3 got stronger and ultimately harsh, not totally nub-able, but rewarding for the price. More complex than what I recall of the comparable CLE Prieto and similar.

ted y.02/06/2019About: The Wise Man Maduro Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

I’ve always enjoyed the El Gueguense line and had high expectations for the Wise Man. Bottom line: if you love full body cigars with strong dark chocolate and coffee notes, then this stick is for you. I enjoyed this smoke but didn’t think it warranted the No.3 spot. Guess I’m really not a dark chocolate fan.

Rudy D.02/04/2019About: The Wise Man Maduro Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

You don't make it to the top 3 of Cigar Aficionado's list for the year for no reason, and this shows terrifically. An excellent maduro that's wonderfully fragrant even before lighting up. Lots of dark and complex flavors to enjoy. Buy with confidence.

Michael P.12/23/2018About: The Wise Man Maduro Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

James M.11/22/2018About: The Wise Man Maduro Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

Really complex cigar, on the strong side, but very well balanced. I think a little age will make this already great cigar even better.

Very nice cigar! Excellent flavors, great construction!

Patrick M.11/12/2018About: The Wise Man Maduro Toro Huaco 6" * 56

An exceptional cigar. Bought this randomly and I so happy I did. Looks great with a very handsome band. Straight away the stick tasted great unlit. Loads of smoke and very aromatic and slightly sweet. By the second third The flavour increased to chocolate, coffee and leather with a little nuttiness. Last third was still very enjoyable. Burned perfectly. my new favourite. When there's some room in the humidor I'll buy a box!

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

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

Marianela M.03/06/2018About: The Wise Man Maduro Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

What a gorgeous wrapper! This was my first thought of this cigar. So oily and inviting, rustic without being rough, the dark San Andres wrapper is like a promise of an excellent smoke. Dark cocoa, coffee and some leather are the opening notes; I can feel the pepper in the very first puff. About two inches into the cigar, it starts mellowing out, the pepper is almost gone the cigar becomes creamier and the earthy notes are quite predominant. The pepper intensifies again in the final third with the coffee and earthy notes fighting to be the leading taste. This box press cigar is a slow burner, with a consistent even burning line and ash. It’s not as complex as I imagined after smoking its predecessor El Gueguense but it’s not flat either. In fact has interesting and subtle notes of leather and chocolate that are hard to taste because the pepper and the coffee. Overall is an enjoyable smoke. I will be trying the toro size very soon??

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!
