A medium-strength cigar with deep notes of earth, oak and pepper. It sports an oily, dark chocolatey Mexican San Andres maduro wrapper over a Nicaraguan Corojo binder and a Nicaraguan filler. Handmade in Nicaragua, the leaves for the filler come from three of Nicaragua’s top tobacco producing regions: Condega, Jalapa, and Esteli. The Foundation Menelik Petite Toro was originally released as an event only blend. Now, it’s available at select Foundation Cigar retailers but as a small batch release. Only 1,000 boxes of 12 cigars per box will be shipped per quarter
