The new Charter Oak Especiales embody the commitment to excellence and artistry that define Foundation Cigars. Nicholas Melillo, Founder & Maser Blender of Foundation, crafted these cigars himself and they pay homage to the timeless wisdom that was passed down by his grandfather. Available in two variations, Pegnataro & Pasquale, the Charter Oak Especiales is truly a remarkable cigar that is worth trying each version. The Pegnataro features a golden-brown Connecticut Shade wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos. It’s medium-bodied with delicious notes of almond, cedar, and a bit of sweetness. On the other side is the Pegnataro, which is full-bodied and features a darker Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos. It’s notes of earth and sweetness. No matter what style of cigar smoker you are, you’ll find enjoyment in each of the Charter Oak Especiales cigars, whether it’s the smooth and mellow Pegnataro or the dark and rich Pasquale.
