Foundation Charter Oak Connecticut Grande 6" * 60

The Foundation Charter Oak Connecticut Grande is a wallet-friendly, mild bodied toro that is handmade in Nicaragua at the Tabacalera de AJ Fernandez. Its smooth, light brown USA Connecticut Shade wrapper drapes a Sumatra binder and a Nicaraguan filler. This mellow blend has a sweet cocoa and creamy flavor profile that is accented with peppery and spicy notes. The Charter Oak Connecticut looks, feels, and tastes like a loftier priced cigar, but at a very down-to-earth price.

  Foundation Charter Oak Connecticut

  According to Nick Melillo, President of the Foundation Cigar Co., the Charter Oak Connecticut cigar is an homage to his home state of Connecticut. In addition, Melillo wanted to create a budget-conscious cigar designed to be enjoyed every day and for any occasion. The Charter Oak Connecticut surpasses this goal. The Charter Oak’s handsome Connecticut shade wrapper surrounds a Sumatran binder which envelops a carefully blended filler from the Jalapa and Estelí regions of Nicaragua.

• Cigar Wrapper
  USA Connecticut Shade

  The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
  The Connecticut Valley, in the Northeast of the USA, is well known for its bright golden wrapper. Because of a very hot and sunny summer, the tobacco is shade grown to make the leaf more delicate with few veins and even surface. Connecticut Shade wrapper grown in the United States has a mild to medium flavor and a silky quality, making it one of the most expensive and sought-after cigar wrappers in the cigar industry.
• Cigar Binder
  Sumatra

  The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together. 
  Tobacco grown in Sumatra is chiefly used as a wrapper, but it also serves as a great binder. It is flavorful and has a consistent dark color.
• Cigar Filler
  Nicaragua

  Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
