Foundation
Charter Oak Original Toro Single Cigar
The Foundation Charter Oak Original Toro showcases master blender Nicholas Melillo’s deep roots in Connecticut tobacco culture in a popular 6x52 vitola. Crafted at the AJ Fernandez factory in Estelí, it pairs a dark, oily Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper with an aged Nicaraguan Habano binder and long-filler tobaccos from Estelí and Jalapa. The Toro format delivers a concentrated presentation of the blend’s Broadleaf characteristics, offering dense layers of dark cocoa, espresso, earth, sweet fruit, and black pepper. It pairs exceptionally well with a barrel-proof bourbon, an aged dark rum, or a double espresso.
