Charter Oak Connecticut Broadleaf Rothschild by Foundation Cigar Company is a rich, flavorful, and affordable cigar that honors the heritage of Connecticut tobacco. Created by master blender Nicholas Melillo, this cigar celebrates his roots in the Connecticut River Valley while showcasing his signature blending artistry—delivering premium quality at an everyday price.
Handcrafted at Tabacalera A.J. Fernandez in Estelí, Nicaragua, this 4.5 x 50 Rothschild features a dark, oily Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper over a Nicaraguan Habano binder and Nicaraguan fillers from Estelí and Jalapa. The blend produces a medium-to-full-bodied profile filled with earthy sweetness and robust character.
The flavor opens with notes of espresso, dark chocolate, and earth, followed by hints of molasses, oak, and black pepper. As it develops, subtle touches of raisin, cocoa, and spice emerge, leading to a long, smooth finish with a balance of sweetness and depth.
