Foundation Cigars - The Wise Man Corojo Double Corona
The Wise Man Corojo Double Corona is a tribute to Nicaragua’s rich cigar-making heritage, masterfully crafted by Foundation Cigar Company. Conceived by Nicholas Melillo, one of the most respected blenders in the industry, this cigar pays homage to the cultural roots and artisanal craftsmanship of Nicaraguan tobacco. It is the original release in the Wise Man series, preceding the Maduro, and remains a benchmark of balance, strength, and complexity.
Nicaraguan Craftsmanship at Its Finest
Handmade at Tabacos Valle de Jalapa (TABSA) in Nicaragua, the Wise Man Corojo features a stunning Corojo ’99 wrapper from Jalapa, paired with a Corojo binder and Nicaraguan Corojo 99 and Criollo 98 fillers sourced from Estelí and Jalapa. The blend showcases the country’s finest tobaccos, creating a cigar that perfectly encapsulates the power and grace of Nicaraguan terroir.
Flavour Profile
The experience begins with elegant notes of cedar, sweet spice, and cocoa, soon developing into a rich medley of earth, leather, and roasted nuts. A delicate sweetness runs throughout, balancing the bold, peppery backbone typical of premium Corojo leaf. The medium to full-bodied profile unfolds smoothly, rewarding the smoker with a complex and evolving flavour journey.
Construction and Experience
Measuring 7 inches with a 54 ring gauge, the Double Corona format allows the blend to express its full depth and nuance. The construction is exemplary, with an even burn, firm ash, and effortless draw. Each puff delivers aromatic, creamy smoke that captures Foundation’s signature consistency and quality.
A Cigar for the True Aficionado
The Wise Man Corojo Double Corona is an exceptional choice for those who appreciate refinement and authenticity in equal measure. It embodies the spirit of Nicaragua, blending tradition, artistry, and innovation into a truly memorable cigar. Whether enjoyed as an evening indulgence or a special occasion smoke, it stands as one of the finest expressions of Foundation’s philosophy.
