Foundation Charter Oak Connecticut Shade | Grande Connecticut (Gordo) (6.0"x60) | Box of 20

Rooted in the rich soil of Connecticut’s tobacco tradition, Charter Oak Connecticut Shade is a tribute to classic craftsmanship and everyday enjoyment. Named after the historic Charter Oak tree and inspired by the tobacco-growing heritage of the Connecticut River Valley, this cigar captures the smooth elegance that founder Nick Melillo grew up admiring — and his grandfather smoking. Wrapped in a golden Connecticut Shade leaf and filled with aged Nicaraguan tobaccos from Estelí and Jalapa, this cigar offers a mellow-to-medium-bodied experience that’s very balanced.  Awarded a stellar 93-point rating, reviewers praised its “rich woods and complex herbs,” along with touches of oaky vanilla, spearmint, and a gentle cashew nuttiness. Charter Oak Connecticut Shade is a true everyday luxury — approachable, flavorful, and deeply satisfying.
