Foundation Charter Oak Especiales

Inspired by the Connecticut-wrapped cigars smoked by brand owner Nick Melillo’s grandfather, Foundation Charter Oak Especiales Pegnataro cigars are a love-letter to Melillo’s home state of Connecticut. An elevated version of the popular Charter Oak brand, these 5.5x48 treats are made at the famous Tabacalera A.J. Fernandez in Nicaragua with finely aged Nicaraguan long fillers, a Nicaraguan Jalapa binder, and a top-quality Connecticut Shade wrapper. Once lit, my palate is greeted by a complex, smooth, and balanced medium-bodied smoke enriched by a medley of baking spices, honey, graham cracker, cinnamon, and cream. These top-notch cigars are an expression of what a luxury Connecticut-style blend should be. To keep my humidor filled with Foundation Charter Oak Especiales Pegnataro cigars, I order my boxes of 12 online here at Cigars.com.
