Foundation El Gueguense The Wise Man Robusto Cigar - 1 Single (Discontinued)

Date Added: Sunday 26 January, 2025 by RICHARD

My favourite blend of tobacco is Mexican San Andres wrapped, Nicaraguan binder abs filler. This cigar is a quintessential example of this type of tobacco combination. Little bit of cinnamon spice and black pepper on the light up, which dies down after a few draws. This cigar has notes of milk chocolate and slightly salty earth taste which I love. It had a long finish which I also love. Construction was very good and draw was perfect. I will be buying more of these for sure.

So I had heard many positive reviews about this cigar so I wanted to check it out to see if the hype was warranted. The construction was very good (well packed with a beautiful wrapper) however there was a very slight whiff of ammonia. After I cut the cigar (straight cut) I noticed the draw was a bit snug. The smoke output was decent however I was having to draw harder than I would have liked to achieve the volume of smoke that would allow me to delve into its flavours. It was medium to full, rich with notes of leather, nuts and earth. The blend is quite bold and complex which was nice but I was still struggling a bit to get a nice draw that would fully allow me to extract its full flavours. The smell of the cigar on the nose was lovely and the burn was relatively even given I was smoking in the garden with a gentle breeze. In the final third it opened up a lot more to a draw that would have been great from the beginning. Overall it was a nice cigar but I cant help but feel that I didnt experience it in its full splendour so I will be purchasing a few more singles in order to get a more rounded understanding of its DNA. Based on this experience, it was rich, bold and not for a novice smoker as its complex and stronger than I expected. In the one hundred point scale I would give it an 85 but I have a feeling it has a lot more potential to be higher.😊
