About this cigar
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.
