If you’re anything like me, your first thought is how in the hell do you say this cigar’s name. It’s pronounced - el wah-when-say - meaning “the wise man,” and it’s also one of the oldest known Nicaraguan plays. El Gueguense is the debut blend for Foundation Cigar Company, which was begun by Nicholas Melillo after he left Drew Estate. The cigar’s packaging and bands pay tribute to the play and reflect Melillo’s love for Nicaragua. El Gueguense is a Nicaraguan puro outfitted with a Corojo ’99 wrapper and binder, and a blend of Corojo and Criollo long-fillers from 2011 and 2012. The blend has been additionally aged in cedar before release and is an elegant, complex, and well-balanced cigar. Expect a full-bodied treat with your palate dancing to notes of cedar and spice with a touch of sweetness. El Gueguense received an impressive 92-rating and Top 25 Cigars of 2016 honors. The review noted, "The combination of different varietals from diferent regions make this an interesting, tasty melange of Nicaraguan tobacco."

Nicholas Melillo, of Foundation Cigar Company, has been an
established figure in the cigar industry. His debut release is
the El Güegüense, which translates to "The Wise Man". This
particular cigar boasts bold and robust flavors with a
well-rounded body. The blend is comprised of Criollo 98 and
Corojo 99 tobaccos from Jalapa and Esteli, featuring leaves from
third, fourth, sixth, and medio tiempo primings. Offered in
twenty-five count boxes, this exceptional cigar is available in
five vitolas. Don't miss out on experiencing one of these
incredible smokes.
Foundation Cigar Co. founder Nick Melillo has two great loves in
this world: premium cigars and Scrabble (although the latter is
just a guess). With a name like "Gueguense Maduro," which
translates to "The Wise Man" in Spanish, it's safe to assume that
Melillo also has a passion for clever wordplay. Speaking of
Spanish, the pronunciation of Gueguense may surprise you - it
sounds more like "way-when-say." But let's not dwell on that,
because we have some seriously impressive tobacco to discuss. The
toothy San Andres Mexican Maduro wrapper used in this cigar was
carefully selected by Melillo to bring a whole new level of
complexity to the blend - and he certainly succeeded. Upon
lighting up The Wise Man Maduro, you'll experience bold flavors
of black pepper, soft cocoa, and rich coffee. If you're a fan of
bold maduros, you need to try The Wise Man Maduro today. It
earned an impressive 95-point rating and was named the #3 Cigar
of 2018 for its dynamic blend of sweet and savory notes, such as
cocoa and vanilla balancing out the earthy tones provided by the
tobacco's meaty qualities.
