Charter Oak Maduro Grande (6x60 / Box 20)

Foundation Charter Oak Connecticut Broadleaf celebrates Connecticut’s deep-rooted tobacco heritage with a dark, flavorful blend inspired by a personal piece of Foundation founder Nicholas Melillo’s family history. According to Foundation, the cigar pays tribute to Melillo’s grandfather, who worked at Winchester Repeating Arms following World War II and maintained an appreciation for Connecticut Broadleaf cigars as part of his everyday routine.

That connection to Connecticut tobacco is reflected in the heart of the blend. Charter Oak Connecticut Broadleaf features a dark Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper over a Nicaraguan Habano binder and 100% Nicaraguan filler tobaccos. The combination gives this Charter Oak expression a deeper, richer character while preserving the approachable style associated with the line.

Generally medium to full-bodied, Charter Oak Connecticut Broadleaf offers tasting notes that may be reminiscent of dark earth, cocoa, espresso, cedar, black pepper, and roasted nuts, accompanied by touches of molasses-like sweetness and warm spice. The Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper contributes much of the cigar’s dark, naturally sweet character, while the Nicaraguan core adds additional earthiness, spice, and depth as the cigar develops. Individual flavor, aroma, strength, construction, and overall smoking characteristics may vary by cigar and individual palate.

For enthusiasts familiar with the Charter Oak family, the Connecticut Broadleaf provides a noticeably richer alternative to the Connecticut Shade while showcasing the distinctive character that has made Broadleaf an important part of Connecticut’s tobacco tradition.

For adult cigar enthusiasts who appreciate dark wrappers and medium-to-full-bodied Nicaraguan blends, Foundation Charter Oak Connecticut Broadleaf brings together Connecticut-inspired heritage, Broadleaf richness, earthy depth, cocoa-like sweetness, espresso, and spice in a flavorful expression of the Charter Oak line.
