Foundation Cigars has announced the new Wise Man Corojo and Wise Man Maduro cigar lines. In doing so, the company has announced it will stop production at Aganorsa and move production to My Father Cigars S.A. Crafted in collaboration with renowned cigar maker Pepin Garcia and My Father Cigars, these new additions exemplify the commitment to excellence and tradition that Foundation Cigars is known for.
The Wise Man Corojo and Wise Man Maduro are the culmination of a lifelong dream for Foundation Cigars owner Nicholas Melillo, who has long admired the work of Pepin Garcia. This collaboration represents a significant milestone for the brand, as it marks the first time that Foundation Cigars has partnered with My Father Cigars.
“We are excited to introduce the NEW Wise Man Corojo and Wise Man Maduro to our lineup,” said Nicholas Melillo, owner of Foundation Cigars. “Working with Pepín García and his family has been a dream come true, and we believe that cigar enthusiasts will appreciate the craftsmanship and flavor profiles of these new offerings.”
The decision to discontinue El Güegüense was made to allow Foundation Cigars to focus on its new releases and continue delivering exceptional cigars to its customers. This move comes after careful consideration and reflects Foundation Cigars’ commitment to innovation and excellence in the cigar industry. “While it’s bittersweet to say goodbye to the El Güegüense brand, it holds a special place in the history of Foundation Cigars. We believe it will become one of our most collectible and sought-after cigars.” Says Nicholas Melillo.
