Nick Melillo of Foundation Cigar Company sought to honor his home state of Connecticut while also giving cigar lovers a satisfying and flavorful smoke at a great value. The result is the Charter Oak series, inspired by the 600-year-old Charter Oak tree that once stood in Hartford, Connecticut, serving as a symbol of American Independence. Joining the original Charter Oak Shade and Maduro lines is the Charter Oak Habano, with the Charter Oak Habano Grande a savory standout.
The Charter Oak Habano Grande is a mouthwatering 6” x 60 beauty constructed of select Nicaraguan binder and filler tobacco from Esteli and Jalapa. The giant smoke is covered with a pristine Habano wrapper leaf grown in Ecuador.
The Charter Oak Habano Grande is an engaging, medium-plus adventure that nestles in between the lighter Charter Oak Shade and the fuller-bodied Charter Oak Maduro blends. The Charter Oak Habano Grande captivates with a parade of earth, sweet spice, cocoa, wood, and pepper flavors. Nutty and creamy undertones add to the sensory pleasure before a long, gratifying finish.
The Charter Oak Habano Grande is optimal for those wanting a larger cigar that has great taste and lots of it without overpowering the senses. In addition, the cigar presents cigar smokers with a great everyday option that won’t break the bank.
