If you’re anything like me, your first thought is how in the hell do you say this cigar’s name. It’s pronounced - el wah-when-say - meaning “the wise man,” and it’s also one of the oldest known Nicaraguan plays. El Gueguense is the debut blend for Foundation Cigar Company, which was begun by Nicholas Melillo after he left Drew Estate. The cigar’s packaging and bands pay tribute to the play and reflect Melillo’s love for Nicaragua. El Gueguense is a Nicaraguan puro outfitted with a Corojo ’99 wrapper and binder, and a blend of Corojo and Criollo long-fillers from 2011 and 2012. The blend has been additionally aged in cedar before release and is an elegant, complex, and well-balanced cigar. Expect a full-bodied treat with your palate dancing to notes of cedar and spice with a touch of sweetness. El Gueguense received an impressive 92-rating and Top 25 Cigars of 2016 honors. The review noted, "The combination of different varietals from diferent regions make this an interesting, tasty melange of Nicaraguan tobacco."

One of the most popular cigar brands currently is Foundation
Cigars. Based in Connecticut, this company has gained a lot of
attention and trying any of their blends will surely convert you
into a fan. However, their latest release takes a step back in
time. El Gueguense was actually Foundation's first blend, which
was highly acclaimed despite its difficult pronunciation. In this
rebranding effort, Foundation is going in a completely new
direction with their Wise Man Maduro, produced by My Father
Cigars. Known for consistently earning 90+ ratings, it's clear
that Foundation made the right choice with this collaboration.
The cigar features Nicaraguan long filler tobaccos and a Mexican
San Andres wrapper, resulting in a full-bodied smoke with
delicious notes of natural tobacco, leather, and hints of dark
chocolate on the finish.
