Foundation Charter Oak CT Broadleaf Toro Cigar – Single

The Foundation Charter Oak CT Broadleaf Toro honors the legacy of Connecticut tobacco, inspired by Melillo’s grandfather, who smoked Connecticut Broadleaf cigars while working at the Winchester Repeating Arms factory post-WWII. This 6" x 52 Toro format cigar uses a Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper, Habano Nicaraguan binder, and Nicaraguan filler tobaccos.
