The Foundation El Gueguense features a Nicaraguan puro blend, complete with a Corojo '99 wrapper and binder, as well as a combination of Corojo and Criollo long-fillers from 2011 and 2012. To achieve its utmost elegance, the blend has been carefully aged in cedar before being released, resulting in a complex and perfectly balanced cigar. Prepare for a full-bodied smoking experience, with tantalizing notes of cedar and spice, accompanied by a hint of sweetness.
"For five hundred years, Nicaragua has served as crossroads of cultures, ever since indigenous inhabitants mocked arriving Spanish conquistadors in a colorful, costumed satirical masterpiece called “El Güegüense”.
Through this, El GĂĽegĂĽense celebrates the rich history of Nicaragua. Beneath the leaf you will find a Nicaraguan puro that showcases what Nick has learned over a lifelong career in tobacco. The brand represents the cultural wealth and history of Nicaragua and the quality of its tobacco." - Foundation Cigars
