Embrace the Legacy, Ignite the Wisdom
Step into the world of Foundation Cigar Company, where each cigar marries heritage with modern craftsmanship. Spearheaded by Nicholas Melillo, an industry veteran with over 25 years in the cigar world, Foundation melds old-world artistry with global tobacco sourcing for blends that consistently deliver exceptional quality, balance, and flavor.
Among its remarkable portfolio, The Wise Man stands out as a tribute to timeless wisdom. Rooted in the Ethiopian legend of Menelik, the son of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, this line embodies a rich cultural tapestry, offering smokers not just a cigar, but a story.
What Makes The Wise Man Unique?
A Tale of Heritage and Innovation
Every smoke in The Wise Man series is infused with cultural resonance, a blend of traditional lore and modernizing finesse. The line promises excellence in craftsmanship through every leaf.
Two Distinguished Blends
The Wise Man Corojo & Maduro (standard formats) featuring two distinct wrappers:
Nicaraguan Corojo: Offers a sweet, refined experience.
San Andrés (Mexican) Maduro: Delivers a sophisticated, complex flavor profile.
The Bold Lancero Formats
Expanding its artistry, Foundation launched The Wise Man Lancero, available in two powerful versions:
Corojo Lancero (7 x 40): A Nicaraguan puro wrapped in Corojo ’99, with Estelí and Jalapa filler. Think bold spice, cedar, and a natural sweetness that’s balanced and intriguing.
Maduro Lancero (7 x 40): Brooding and refined, wrapped in Connecticut Broadleaf with Estelí and Jalapa binder and fillers. Expect decadent notes of cocoa, espresso, and earth, intensified by the slender lancero format.
These lanceros deliver an intensified, nuanced smoking experience, perfect for aficionados who crave complexity and elegance in every puff.
