Foundation Charter Oak Shade Especiales is a refined extension of the acclaimed Charter Oak Shade line, offering a classic Lonsdale vitola crafted for smooth, flavorful elegance. Created by master blender Nick Melillo of Foundation Cigar Company, this Connecticut-style cigar features a golden-hued Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper over aged Nicaraguan fillers, producing a mild-to-medium-bodied profile with exceptional construction and everyday accessibility.
Designed for lovers of slim-ring formats, Especiales delivers balanced flavors of vanilla cream, toasted almond, cedar, white pepper, and hay, with a smooth draw and clean, aromatic finish. This vitola enhances the nuances of the blend, allowing the creamy profile and subtle spice to shine through in every inch. It’s a perfect option for those seeking a morning cigar, an entry point into Connecticut Shade cigars, or an elegant addition to a daily rotation of mild cigars.
Now available at The Tobacconist of Greenwich, Charter Oak Shade Especiales is ideal for both novice smokers and connoisseurs who appreciate finesse in form and flavor. Pair it with a cappuccino, green tea, or a soft white wine for an elevated yet understated experience. It pairs seamlessly with the Charter Oak Maduro Especiales and complements Foundation’s other Connecticut-forward offerings like Highclere Castle Edwardian and Tabernacle Broadleaf David.
