Foundation The Wise Man Robusto Cigar – Single

The Wise Man Maduro Robusto by Foundation features a Mexican San Andres Maduro wrapper with a Nicaraguan binder and filler blend of Corojo and Criollo tobaccos. This 5.5" x 50 vitola presents a toothy, mottled brown-black wrapper with pre-light aromas of cocoa and maple syrup. The 93-rated blend updates the original El Gueguense design, now showcasing red-and-gold bands with "The Wise Man" as the primary branding.
