This medium to full-bodied smoke offers enticing notes of earth, spice, cedar and a pleasing sweetness. Its USA Connecticut Broadleaf Colorado Maduro wrapper covers a Mexican San Andres binder and long-filler leaves from Nicaragua and Honduras. The cigars are handmade at AJ Fernandez’s Tabacalera Fernandez factory in Nicaragua. The vitola’s name and its artwork was inspired by the bible story of “David and Goliath.” The centerpiece for this sought-after cigar is its wrapper. Since 2014, Foundation Cigars founder and master blender, Nicholas Melillo has worked in concert with farmers from the Connecticut River Valley to develop this exquisite wrapper. The wrapper is known for its attractive reddish hue and extreme oily nature and requires three years to ferment.
