Foundation Cigars Charter Oak Original Grande
The Foundation Cigars Charter Oak Original Grande impresses with its generous Gordo format and offers a first-class smoking experience that combines craftsmanship and quality at the highest level.
Format and workmanship
With a length of 15.2 cm and a ring gauge of 60, the Charter Oak Original Grande presents itself in the impressive Gordo format. It is made entirely by hand (Totalmente a Mano) in the renowned Tabacalera Fernandez in Estelí, Nicaragua, and represents outstanding craftsmanship. The wrapper comes from Ecuador and gives the cigar an elegant, flawless look. The filler and binder are made exclusively from high-quality Nicaraguan tobaccos, known for their exceptional quality. The careful processing guarantees a pleasant handling and an even smoking experience.
Flavour profile
The Charter Oak Original Grande offers a complex and harmoniously balanced taste experience. Initially, intense notes of pepper and wood unfold, complemented by a pleasant creaminess. As the cigar smokes, flavours of roasted bell pepper, dark chocolate and nutmeg come to the fore. These are rounded off by roasted almonds and a hint of black pepper. Earthy nuances and a subtle sweetness give the cigar additional depth and a balanced complexity.
Smoking behaviour
With a smoking time of about 60-90 minutes and a medium strength, the Charter Oak Original Grande offers excellent smoking behaviour. It burns slowly and evenly, with a firm, light-coloured ash – a sign of the quality of the workmanship. The draw resistance is optimally adjusted so that the aromas can unfold effortlessly. The dense smoke volume underlines the sophisticated smoking experience and ensures full enjoyment until the last draw.
Recommendation
The Foundation Cigars Charter Oak Original Grande is the perfect choice for experienced cigar lovers who appreciate an intense yet balanced flavour. It goes perfectly with a strong espresso or a mature whisky. Thanks to its excellent price-performance ratio, it is a convincing mid-range cigar and offers every aficionado a special pleasure experience.
