Foundation to Release El Gueguense Maduro - Cigar News

One Mr. Nick Melillo hath announced just prior to the IPCPR trade-show kick-off, that his Foundation cigars shall be rolling out a new line extension. Said extension is a Maduro'd iteration of their El Gueguense offering which landed at the caboose a' last year's Cigar Aficionado Top 25.
The cigars are being cranked outta the TABSA factory in EstelĂ­, Nicaragu, in the following formats: 748 Churchill, 5 5/8 x 46 Corona Gorda, 5 1/2 x 50 Robusto, 656 Toro Huaco, and 6 1/4 x 52 Torpedo. The recipe? A Mexican San Andres Maduro top-leaf over Nicaraguan guts from Condega, EstelĂ­, and Jalapa. That's what we got. What else we got, gentlepersons? According to a company press release, the Maduro expression is “an independent and unique flavorful profile from the original El Gueguense.” My favorite Rocky movie was the one where Stallone played a French Chef.
