Foundation Olmec Claro Doble Corona Cigar – Box of 12

£345.00

​After a tobacco-buying trip to the San Andres region of Mexico, Foundation Cigars founder and master blender Nick Melillo was inspired to create a cigar that not only paid tribute to the region’s rich tobacco fields but to the ancient Olmec civilization. Thus, the Foundation Olmec Claro cigar line was born. The Olmecs inhabited the San Andres area from approximately 1600 to 400 BCE. They were known to cultivate tobacco and smoke cigars, and they had built pyramids using precise mathematical formulas. The Olmec Claro cigar features a warm tan Mexican San Andres wrapper that covers a Nicaraguan binder and filler. The leaves for the filler have been bale-aged for three years prior to rolling. This special aging process helps the leaves develop their unique flavour profile.

The Foundation Olmec Claro Doble Corona is a premium, medium-bodied cigar that delivers an exceptional smoking experience, thanks to its intricate blend of Nicaraguan and Mexican tobaccos. With a larger size of 7 inches in length and a 54-ring gauge, this Doble Corona provides a longer smoking session that allows the rich flavors to evolve and unfold slowly. The cigar is beautifully wrapped in a Claro wrapper from Mexico’s renowned San Andrés Valley, which contributes to its smooth, creamy texture and rich aroma.

The construction of the Olmec Claro Doble Corona is exemplary, with a Mexican binder that holds the carefully selected Nicaraguan and Mexican fillers together, ensuring an even burn and consistent draw. The Claro wrapper imparts a nuanced, mild sweetness, which complements the robust flavors of the filler tobaccos. The opening notes of the cigar are mild and smooth, with hints of cream, nutmeg, and subtle leather. As the cigar progresses, it transitions to a more complex flavor profile, with undertones of wood, cedar, and a slight spiciness that adds depth and dimension to the smoke.

Throughout its length, the Olmec Claro Doble Corona maintains a balanced profile, making it an ideal choice for those who enjoy cigars with a refined complexity that evolves gradually. Its smooth yet rich flavors are perfect for pairing with whiskey, rum, or a fine coffee. This cigar exemplifies the artistry and skill of Foundation Cigar Company, making it a must-try for cigar aficionados seeking a well-rounded and enjoyable experience.
