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."

Paired with 1792 full proof, a stale Dunkin’ Donuts donut (yeasted with chocolate frosting), and Elijah Craig BP. In that order. A gift from my enviably generous brother. Cedar, leather, earth that transitions into more earthiness and some black pepper. Solid flavor, burn, and draw

Nice dark broadleaf wrapper, good looking, well packed cigar, no soft spots. Good draw, plenty of smoke. Taste notes are leather, earth, some mustiness. Very smooth and balanced cigar. Not my favorite flavor, but a good flavorful cigar nevertheless, especially for the price

Charter Oak Maduro Toro. Has aroma of dark chocolate and mint. Cold draw is earthy and dark chocolate with leather on the lips. First puff is cedar and earth. A little leather, black coffee, chocolate, and lightly sweet cherry notes come after a couple more puffs. Retrohale has some black pepper but light enough to retro the whole draw. Flavors and aroma are subtle, but stay consistent. The pepper picks up a bit into the second third and holds through the last third. Overall a solid stick. Wrapper started peeling toward the nub but didn't affect the flavor

Absolutely incredible smoke, especially for the price. Everything from Foundation I’ve tried has been very good and this is definitely no exception. I just might need to pick up a box of these!
