Foundation Olmec Claro Toro Cigar – Box of 12

The Foundation Olmec Claro Toro originates from a tobacco-buying expedition to Mexico’s San Andres region, where Foundation Cigars founder Nick Melillo sought to honor both the area’s tobacco heritage and the ancient Olmec civilization. This 6 x 52 toro features a Mexican San Andres Claro wrapper with a golden hue, a Nicaraguan binder, and filler tobaccos aged for three years before rolling. The aging process enhances the leaves’ flavor development.

The blend combines Nicaraguan and Mexican tobaccos, delivering flavors of wood, almond, and earth in the initial third. As the cigar progresses, subtle coffee and spice notes emerge. The medium-bodied profile maintains balance, supported by a smooth draw and even burn. Its construction ensures consistent smoke output without harshness.

Key specifications:

• Size: 6 inches x 52 ring gauge
• Wrapper: Mexican San Andres Claro
• Binder: Nicaraguan
• Filler: Nicaraguan and Mexican tobaccos

Designed for pairing with whiskey, rum, or coffee, the Foundation Olmec Claro Toro emphasizes accessibility through its refined flavor progression. The Olmec civilization’s historical connection to tobacco cultivation in San Andres adds cultural depth to this modern interpretation.
