Foundation Olmec

As obscure and complex as the people for which it’s named, the Foundation Olmec Maduro honors what is thought to be the very first ancient civilization to engage in smoking tobacco. Imagine partaking in a cigar whose tobacco is grown from the very same rich volcanic soil the first ever cigar smokers likely used. This Double Corona 7×54 spotlights its wrapper as the finest San Andrès Negro leaf available from the same tropical lowlands once occupied by the Olmecs, where the beloved San Andrés tobacco continues to grow to this day. Utilized as its core are Nicaraguan binder and fillers from the prized growing regions of Esteli and Jalapa Valleys that are bale aged for three years after fermentation before being rolled in the Olmec. Beginning with peppery notes, its full-bodied smoke transitions into coffee, toasted oak and sweeter notes of deep mocha and hot chocolate through the finish.
