Nick Melillo and his Foundation Cigar Company’s Charter Oak Shade and Charter Oak Maduro lines celebrate the iconic Charter Oak, a 600-year-old tree that once stood in Hartford, Connecticut that became a symbol for American Independence. The Charter Oak legend grows with the addition of the Charter Oak Habano to the popular series. The Charter Oak Habano Toro is a delectable 6” x 52 stick that delivers all of the great taste, smoothness, and value necessary to make it a top everyday option.
The Charter Oak Habano Toro earns its place amongst Foundation’s most scrumptious daily smokes with a blend of supple Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos from Esteli and Jalapa. A beautiful Ecuadorian-grown Habano wrapper leaf finishes off the Charter Oak Habano Toro, which proves a savory over-an-hour smoke.
The medium-plus Charter Oak Habano Toro offers a well-balanced profile that positions itself between its milder Charter Oak Shade and richer Charter Oak Maduro counterparts. Intriguing earth, pepper, sweet spice, and wood grab attention at the start, with salted cashew and cocoa notes working their way into the mix. Creamy undercurrents add a touch of luxuriousness as the smoke ends with a lively flourish.
The Charter Oak Habano Toro is that rare smoke that offers a superbly smooth and satisfying top-shelf experience at a great value. Also, the engaging Habano-wrapped Toro is a pleasing change of pace from the other milder and full-bodied versions of the blends, making for a versatile pairing cigar perfect for any time.
