Maduro Grande - Gordo 152.0mm / 23.8mm / Box of 12
Foundation Olmec Maduro Grande – Dark intensity and historical heritage
The Olmec Maduro Grande by Foundation Cigars is a profound tribute to the Olmecs, one of America's oldest civilizations, which was native to the Mexican San Andrés Valley. This location is world-famous today for cultivating first-class wrappers. Brand founder Nick Melillo has created a blend that impressively 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 dark, oily Mexico San Andrés (Maduro) wrapper. After harvesting, this leaf undergoes a particularly slow fermentation process to develop a deep color and a rich aroma. 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 complex blend of dark roasted notes, espresso, and earthy spice, which remains particularly cool due to the impressive 60 ring gauge.
