Charter Oak Shade Toro (6x52 / Box 20)

Foundation Charter Oak Connecticut Shade celebrates Connecticut's longstanding tobacco heritage with a smooth, approachable blend inspired by the region that helped shape American cigar tobacco. Created by Connecticut native and Foundation Cigar Company founder Nicholas Melillo, Charter Oak connects the state's agricultural traditions with contemporary Nicaraguan cigar craftsmanship.

The name draws inspiration from Connecticut's historic Charter Oak, an enduring symbol of the state's colonial history and independence. Foundation carries that Connecticut connection into the cigar itself, pairing a silky Connecticut Shade wrapper with a Sumatran binder and Nicaraguan filler tobaccos.

Generally mild to medium-bodied, Charter Oak Connecticut Shade offers a balanced profile with tasting notes that may be reminiscent of cedar, toasted nuts, cream, earth, subtle pepper, and natural tobacco sweetness. The Connecticut Shade wrapper contributes a smooth, refined character, while the Nicaraguan fillers introduce additional depth and gentle spice as the cigar develops. Individual flavor, aroma, strength, construction, and overall smoking characteristics may vary by cigar and individual palate.

Designed to be approachable without sacrificing character, Charter Oak Connecticut Shade provides an appealing option for both enthusiasts who regularly enjoy Connecticut-wrapped cigars and those looking for a smoother introduction to Foundation's portfolio.

For adult cigar enthusiasts who appreciate Connecticut Shade wrappers and balanced, mild-to-medium-bodied blends, Foundation Charter Oak Connecticut Shade brings together Connecticut-inspired heritage, Nicaraguan tobacco, creamy character, cedar, subtle spice, and natural sweetness in an inviting everyday cigar.
