Foundation El Gueguense
Cigars

The Foundation El Gueguense cigars, the inaugural blend from the now-renowned Foundation Cigar Company and master blender Nick Melillo, stand as one of the finest Nicaraguan cigars on the market. The name, pronounced “el wha-wen-say,” is derived from an ancient Nicaraguan word meaning "wise man." Handcrafted at the famed Tobacco Valle de Jalapa factory in Nicaragua, these exceptional cigars are composed entirely of masterfully aged Nicaraguan tobaccos for the wrapper, binder, and long fillers, including vintage Corojo and Criollo tobaccos. The blend is further enhanced with additional cedar aging, refining its already exquisite flavor profile.

Each draw of the El Gueguense delivers a harmonious balance of cedar, pepper, and a subtle sweetness on the retrohale, creating a truly indulgent smoking experience. These top-rated cigars earned a spot on Cigar Aficionado’s prestigious Top 25 Cigars of the Year list in 2016—a remarkable achievement for a debut release. This accolade speaks volumes about the blend’s exceptional quality and the craftsmanship behind it.

Available in a variety of popular sizes, the El Gueguense cigars continue to captivate aficionados with their boutique appeal and unparalleled flavor.
