After a tobacco-buying trip to the San Andres region of Mexico, Foundation Cigars founder and master blender Nick Melillo was inspired to create a cigar that not only paid tribute to the region’s rich tobacco fields but to the ancient Olmec civilization. Thus, the Foundation Olmec Claro cigar line was born. The Olmecs inhabited the San Andres area from approximately 1600 to 400 BCE. They were known to cultivate tobacco and smoke cigars, and they had built pyramids using precise mathematical formulas. The Olmec Claro cigar features a warm tan Mexican San Andres wrapper that covers a Nicaraguan binder and filler. The leaves for the filler have been bale-aged for three years prior to rolling. This special aging process helps the leaves develop their unique flavor profile.
