Foundation Olmec Claro Robusto Cigar – Box of 12

The Foundation Olmec Claro Robusto originates from Nick Melillo’s exploration of Mexico’s San Andrés tobacco fields. This 5" x 50 cigar uses a Mexican San Andres Claro wrapper with Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos. The filler leaves undergo a three-year bale-aging process to develop their flavor characteristics, reflecting the agricultural practices of the ancient Olmec civilization that once cultivated tobacco in this region.

Flavor Profile and Construction

The Olmec Claro Robusto features a medium-bodied blend combining cedar and earth notes with almond sweetness, transitioning to nutmeg and coffee undertones. The San Andrés wrapper contributes a golden-brown hue and smooth combustion properties. Its construction ensures an even burn and consistent airflow, supported by a tightly packed bunch and straight burn line.
