Foundation Charter Oak Connecticut Toro

Cigar Intel

Handcrafted in Nicaragua at Tabacalera AJ Fernandez for Foundation Cigar Company. The Charter Oak Connecticut Toro features a genuine U.S.-grown Connecticut Shade wrapper, known for its golden hue, natural sweetness, and velvety smooth texture. Beneath it sits a Sumatran binder and a core of well-aged Nicaraguan long-fillers from Estelí and Jalapa.

This blend emphasizes balance over power. The Connecticut wrapper delivers cream, toast, and soft sweetness, while the Nicaraguan interior adds gentle earth, nuts, and a mild spice that keeps the profile engaging without ever becoming heavy.

The Charter Oak name honors one of Connecticut’s most iconic symbols, representing craftsmanship, heritage, and humility, qualities reflected in this cigar’s dependable construction, cool burn, and refined flavor from start to finish.

Tasting Notes

The first puffs bring cream, toasted bread, and sweet hay. As it settles in, notes of cedar, light nuts, and soft white pepper emerge. Midway through, the smoke turns buttery with hints of vanilla, earth, and mild spice. The finish stays clean, mellow, and lightly sweet.
