Foundation The Wise Man Maduro

When it comes to marrying tradition with bold innovation, The Wise Man Maduro stands tall. Created by Foundation Cigar Co. founder Nick Melillo, this standout blend is a tribute to rich tobacco heritage and expert craftsmanship. Named Gueguense — Spanish for “The Wise Man” and pronounced “way-when-say” — this cigar isn’t just a mouthful in name, but a mouthful of deep, satisfying flavor.

Wrapped in a dark, toothy San Andres Mexican Maduro leaf, this cigar delivers a full-bodied experience from the first draw. Melillo handpicked this wrapper to elevate complexity, and it does so masterfully. Expect bold black pepper, smooth cocoa, and rich, roasted coffee notes that unfold beautifully with every puff. It’s a must-try for any maduro lover.

With a stellar 95-point rating and the honor of being named the #3 Cigar of 2018, The Wise Man Maduro is praised for its dynamic profile — dancing between sweet vanilla and savory meatiness, all grounded by a deep earthiness. Simply put, it’s a wise choice for those who appreciate serious flavor and flawless construction.
