Meet the Nicaraguan firecracker that's been turning heads - Foundation's Wise Man Corojo "El Güegüense" Corona Gorda. This 5 5/8" x 46 box-pressed stogie comes in bundles of 25 at $238.99 a pop. They call it "El Güegüense" after some old folk dance character, but let's be real - we're here for that spicy Corojo 99 wrapper hugging Nicaraguan fillers. Just don't stare too long at that maduro-ish wrapper oil before lighting up.
Cold Draw: Earthy barnyard with a raisin sweetness that makes you wonder if you're in a tobacco field or grandma's pantry.
First Third: Pepper bomb alert! Black pepper slaps your tongue while cedar planks smolder in the background. That maduro-esque wrapper? It's pulling a fast one with chocolate syrup undertones.
Mid-Smoke: Settles into a leather armchair with almond brittle and cream soda. Surprise coffee ground texture shows up uninvited but welcome.
Final Stretch: Toasted bread crust meets bitter espresso shots. Warning: nicotine creep is real - newbies might tap out before the earthy raisin finale.
That box art's not just pretty colors - it's basically Nicaragua's cultural résumé in graphic form. Every swirl tells a folk tale, making you feel cultured while ashing into a beer can.
