Olmec Claro Toro by Foundation Cigar Company is a rich, balanced, and elegantly complex cigar inspired by the ancient Olmec civilization—the earliest known culture of Mesoamerica and the foundation of tobacco cultivation in the region. Created by Nicholas Melillo, this cigar honors that heritage with a blend that perfectly fuses strength, depth, and refinement.

Handcrafted at Tabacalera AJ Fernandez in Estelí, Nicaragua, this 6 x 52 Toro features a smooth, golden-brown Mexican San Andrés Claro wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and fillers from the country’s two premier growing regions—Estelí and Jalapa. The tobaccos are aged for three years before rolling, resulting in a medium-to-full-bodied smoke that’s bold yet impeccably smooth.

The flavor profile opens with notes of cedar, roasted nuts, and sweet cream, followed by accents of honey, white pepper, and cocoa. As it develops, deeper tones of toasted oak, leather, and baking spice emerge, leading to a long, clean finish with a hint of natural sweetness and earth.
