Wow...it's an absolute revelation. Rich, unctuous, balanced is what springs to mind. I heard many good things about the cigar an wondered if it would live up to its reputation and my goodness it absolutely does. I had concerns over the strength but it is comfortaby medium and bang smack in my wheel house. Very smooth, notes of cinnamon with a touch of spice. I honestly can't fault it. The draw is perfect, beautiful white ash that holds very well. I have a Tabernacle Toro so will be interested to compare and contrast but this Perfecto is absolutely box worthy and I would imagine will age beautifully. I plan on buying a few boxes and ageing them for a few years but I will buy a separate box to enjoy them now as they are stunning. Nick Melillo is doing wonderful wonderful things over there at Foundation cigars. 100% box worthy in my humble opinion.

I had high hope for this cigar having followed the Foundation Cigars journey online and in the YouTube reviews. I waited and smoked two before writing a review to provide a fair judgement. Its light, very light actually and does tend to pick up strength into the final third but doesn't seem to change in flavour or complexity. All the flavours you'd expect, light and slightly sweet tobacco being the most prominent with undertones of earth (That classic Nicaraguan mineral note) and subtle leather which remain mild and consistent throughout. Construction and burn were perfectly fine with no complaints to report. I am aware there are other versions of the Charter Oak that here in the UK we cannot access, i.e Pasquale, Habano and Pegnataro - However we do have the dark broadleaf so I will be moving onto that in search for the more complex flavours. Overall this version of the Charter Oak delivers the light and mild experience you are signing up to - A good afternoon, lunchtime, morning, beginner or easy creamy coffee smoke. I'd consider buying again but im not in a rush to.

A wonderful cigar, smooth. Paired perfect with a pint of London Black sitting in the Hackney sun... I had a "moment".
