Foundation Charter Oak Connecticut Shade Grande – Monumental volume and smooth enjoyment The Charter Oak Connecticut Shade Grande from Foundation Cigar Company is the most imposing format of this series. Nick Melillo combines a massive Gordo format (154.0 mm x 23.8 mm) with the proverbial mildness of a genuine US Connecticut Shade wrapper. The name Charter Oak honors the historical tree of Melillo's home state of Connecticut, a symbol of freedom. These voluminous longfillers are produced entirely by hand in Nicaragua. The centerpiece is the golden USA Connecticut Shade wrapper, prized for its silky texture and extreme creaminess. Together with Nicaraguan binders and fillers, it creates a smoke that, despite its size, never becomes overwhelming. Aficionados can expect a mild to medium-bodied interplay of flavors with distinct notes of toasted nuts, light wood, and a fine natural sweetness. Thanks to the 60 ring gauge, the smoke remains exceptionally cool and smooth. Delivered in a stylish wooden box of 20, the Charter Oak Connecticut Shade Grande provides a long-lasting premium experience for connoisseurs seeking significant volume paired with a gentle character.
