Foundation Charter Oak Connecticut Shade Rothschild

Foundation Charter Oak Connecticut Shade Rothschild

The gentlest expression in the Charter Oak lineup, wrapped in a silky Connecticut Shade leaf over a Sumatran binder and Nicaraguan filler pulled from Estelí and Jalapa. Like the rest of the line, it's handmade at Tabacalera A.J. Fernandez in Estelí, where the same crew builds cigars that cost far more than this one.

The Rothschild is the most popular size in the line for a reason, its short, dense build packs in surprising longevity without asking for a long sitting. Expect cedar, graham cracker, and honey up front, with a soft pepper note keeping it from tipping too sweet, finishing creamy and smooth. It's the kind of relaxed, everyday smoke that's earned this line Cigar Aficionado's #1 Best Value Cigar honors.
