Claro Grande - Gordo 152.0mm / 23.8mm / Box of 12
Foundation Olmec Claro Grande – A tribute to the cradle of tobacco
The Olmec Claro Grande by Foundation Cigars is a profound reference to the Olmecs, one of America's oldest civilizations, which was native to the Mexican San Andrés Valley – the very place where some of the world's best wrappers grow today. With this series, brand founder Nick Melillo has created a blend that perfectly celebrates the connection between Mexican heritage and Nicaraguan craftsmanship.
The core of this Grande in the massive Gordo format (152.0 mm x 23.8 mm) is the light Mexico San Andrés (Claro) wrapper. After harvesting, this undergoes a slow fermentation process at low temperatures to preserve the fine oils and complex aromas. Inside, a filler of first-class Nicaraguan tobaccos from Estelí and Jalapa, aged for three years, provides a medium-strong to strong profile. Aficionados can look forward to a harmonious blend of earthy notes, roasted nuts, and fine spices, which remains particularly cool and voluminous due to the impressive 60 ring gauge.
