The Wise Man Corojo Corona Cigar from Foundation Cigar Company is a stunning showcase of Nicaraguan craftsmanship. Created by Nicholas Melillo—one of the most respected names in the premium cigar world—this line is a tribute to tradition, blended with precision and deep understanding of the leaf.
Handmade at the renowned Aganorsa Leaf factory in Estelí, this Corona format delivers a concentrated version of the Corojo blend’s full complexity. The wrapper is a gorgeous sun-grown Nicaraguan Corojo leaf, encasing a selection of aged Nicaraguan binder and fillers.
Tasting Notes:
The cigar opens with a lively interplay of red pepper spice and cedar, creating an engaging first impression. As it develops, notes of toasted nuts, espresso, and cinnamon begin to emerge, delivering a rich and nuanced middle third. The final stretch introduces deeper earthy tones, subtle leather, and a persistent peppery finish that rounds off the experience beautifully.
Impeccably constructed with a smooth draw and even burn, the Wise Man Corojo Corona offers an exceptional smoking experience for those who enjoy a medium to full-bodied profile. The smaller ring gauge intensifies the flavours and allows the wrapper’s character to shine through.
Perfectly suited to pair with a robust coffee or a sherried single malt, this is a cigar that will appeal to aficionados seeking balance, depth, and a true taste of Nicaragua’s finest tobaccos.
