Sign the charter
No matter how far we might stray from it, home will always be an important anchor for all of us. Foundation’s Charter Oak features tobaccos grown in the Connecticut River Valley of founder Nick Melillo’s home state. The name itself pays respect to a historically significant tree near which Native Americans would congregate and grow tobacco of their own.
But the respect doesn’t stop there as Melillo also honors his grandfather, a WWII vet who enjoyed Connecticut tobaccos with Charter Oak. Made of either a Connecticut Shade, or a Connecticut Broadleaf, wrapper and fillers from the Jalapa and Estelí regions of Nicaragua, the Charter Oak elicits a creamy flavor accented with chocolate, and hints of roasted nuts and pepper.
Good news! Charter Oak Connecticut has received an impressive 93-point rating, noting: "Rich woods and complex herbs set the tone for this attractive robusto. Each puff leaves impressions of oaky vanilla, spearmint and caraway seeds along with floral notes and a cashew nuttiness."

Foundation Cigar Co. Charter Oak Connecticut Shade
A lighter blend with tones of oak, pepper, and smooth vanilla. Spongy at the feel but a rather smooth cigar on the draw.

Good cigar. Draw and burn were really nice.

Id put this at a slightly above average smoking experience, but the price point makes it a bargain in my eyes. Had a nice mild flavor throughout which got better as it went along. Sharp burn line the whole way. To me this is the epitome of cigars to keep on hand if you have some friends over who aren’t into cigars but like one occasionally.

More on the herbal side. Not my cup of tea.

Small cigar with a very fast burn, smoked it within half an hour

"Woodsy and herbal" is good way to describe it as I've seen in reviews. Draw is a little tight. Burns evenly with good ash though. I guess you can't ask much more from a budget buy.

Light smoke, good to start the day off with. Not a lot of flavors but expected for the price point.

For the price it's an alright cigar. Not as smooth as what I would want from a CT. Overall I would smoke it again but it would never be my first pick

Sweet woodiness? Woody sweetness? CT tang on lips. Forward feeling spice on retrohale. Perfect for a shorter, mild smoke.
