Foundation Cigars El Gueguense The Wise Man Lancero

For 500 years, Nicaragua has served as a crossroads of cultures, ever since indigenous inhabitants mocked arriving Spanish Conquistadors in a colourful, costumed satirical masterpiece called El Gueguense. The dance continues to this day, transcending all cultural, social and political barriers - if you are Nicaraguan, the El Gueguense brings you ever closer to your roots, encompassing true National peace in those few precious moments of timeless art and humour.

It is with this great inspiration that Nick Melillo created the El Gueguense brand in 2015, celebrating the rich history Nicaragua - the country that has greeted him with open arms for over 20 years. A true tribute to its father nation as a Nicaraguan Puro (a blend certainly not easy to perfect), El Gueguense showcases what Melillo has learned from a lifetime at the pioneering edge of the cigar industry. True to Melillo's previous record, El Gueguense proved and continues to prove to be a ground-breaking series, transcending barriers and launching this ancient dance into the 21st Century.

The cigar is patiently aged with the finest Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper in the world, a phenomenal San Andrés binder and fillers from Estelí in Nicaragua and the Jamastran Valley in Honduras, giving a rich espresso and spice with an exceptionally well-rounded cacao flavour.
