El Gueguense Cigars
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.

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.

Foundation Cigar Co. founder Nick Melillo has two great loves in this world: premium cigars and Scrabble (although the latter is just a guess). With a name like "Gueguense Maduro," which translates to "The Wise Man" in Spanish, it's safe to assume that Melillo also has a passion for clever wordplay. Speaking of Spanish, the pronunciation of Gueguense may surprise you - it sounds more like "way-when-say." But let's not dwell on that, because we have some seriously impressive tobacco to discuss. The toothy San Andres Mexican Maduro wrapper used in this cigar was carefully selected by Melillo to bring a whole new level of complexity to the blend - and he certainly succeeded. Upon lighting up The Wise Man Maduro, you'll experience bold flavors of black pepper, soft cocoa, and rich coffee. If you're a fan of bold maduros, you need to try The Wise Man Maduro today. It earned an impressive 95-point rating and was named the #3 Cigar of 2018 for its dynamic blend of sweet and savory notes, such as cocoa and vanilla balancing out the earthy tones provided by the tobacco's meaty qualities.
