El Gueguense Torpedo cigars are the inaugural cigars from the new Foundation Cigar Company, but don’t go thinking this is some fly-by-night operation launched by some rookie. That’s because the man in charge is the venerable Nicholas Melillo, and if your mouth involuntarily started watering then you know he’s one of the men responsible for some of Drew Estate’s most famous traditional blends. Skillfully employing his prodigious knowledge of quality leaf, Nicholas sourced an all-star Nicaraguan lineup of tobaccos for the El Gueguense, which means ‘the wise man’. Each thick vitola contains two different versions of Corojo 99 for the wrapper and binder, and there more Corojo 99 in the filler alongside a hefty dose of Criollo 98 to keep things interesting.


So now that we have various tobaccos selected from the finest Nicaraguan farms before being aged and blended by a master, what else is there to do but hand the glorious longleaf over to the skilled craftsmen and women at Tabacos Valle de Jalapa and let them get to work. The result is a handmade 6 1/4 X 52 Torpedo that can hold its own with the most famous cigars out there in appearance and construction. The flavor and smoking experience is top notch as well, with a smooth draw that delivers a creamy burst of smoke from the outset, doubtless due to the cedar aging each cigar receives before delivery. There’s plenty of dark chocolate, spice, toffee, and black licorice to be found as the El Gueguense works from medium to full during its slow and fiery demise.


It takes some serious brass to launch a new cigar company in this day and age but if anyone can pull it off then Nicholas Melillo can. Get in on the ground floor by ordering your allotment of El Gueguense Torpedo today, just make sure to keep some hidden from your friends because they’re going to be bugging you for some every chance they get. Better yet, point them to Cigarplace.biz and we’ll take it from there.
