Description

The Foundation Olmec Claro Corona Gorda originates from San Andrés, Mexico, where founder Nick Melillo drew inspiration from the region’s tobacco heritage and the Olmec civilization. This 5.5" x 48 cigar uses a Mexican San Andrés Claro wrapper with a slightly oily texture, paired with a Mexican binder and Nicaraguan filler tobaccos aged for three years. The extended bale-aging process refines the filler leaves’ flavor characteristics while maintaining structural integrity.

The blend combines Nicaraguan and Mexican tobaccos to create a medium-bodied profile. Initial flavors include creaminess and earth, followed by nutmeg and faint woodiness. Mid-smoke transitions reveal cinnamon, cedar, and mild spice. The Mexican San Andrés wrapper contributes to consistent combustion and a steady draw.
