Nick Melillo’s Foundation Cigar Company often turns to history to gain inspiration for its brands, and Foundation Olmec premium cigars look deep into history to highlight one of the first major civilizations of Mesoamerica. The Olmec civilization existed thousands of years ago, far before the founding of Rome, in the region that is now called San Andres Tuxtla in Mexico. This is also the same area that host acres upon acres of San Andres tobaccos meant to be worn by top-quality cigars. Foundation Olmec pays homage to the ancient peoples with two blends featuring distinct San Andres Mexican wrappers; one blend wears a claro wrapper, while the other boasts a maduro. Underneath are some of Nicaragua’s finest long filler and binder tobaccos which have been aged for a lengthy three years prior to being rolled at AJ Fernandez’s famous Nicaraguan cigar factory. Both blends are full-bodied yet incredibly smooth, offering core notes of spice, espresso, leather, and cocoa. The Claro blends has a bit of a creaminess to it, while the Maduro leans more into the spice and chocolate, but both are sure to satisfy your seasoned palate. Both blends are offered as the same three popular sizes, a 5x50 Robusto, 6x52 Toro, and 6x60 Grande and available in boxes of 12, so fill your humidor with Foundation Olmec cigars by placing an order with Casa de Montecristo Cigars today!
