El Gueguense, pronounced "el wah-when-say" and meaning "the wise man", is the debut blend from Foundation Cigar Company, founded by former Drew Estate employee, Nicholas Melillo. A Nicaraguan puro with a Corojo '99 wrapper and binder, and a blend of Corojo and Criollo long-fillers from 2011 and 2012, this cigar has been additionally aged in cedar and offers an elegant, complex, and well-balanced smoking experience. These full-bodied cigars feature notes of cedar and spice with a subtle sweetness, and were rated 92 and named in the Top 25 Cigars of 2016. With a combination of different varietals from different regions, El Gueguense promises to be an interesting and tasty melange of Nicaraguan tobacco.
