A special El Güegüense is finding its way onto shelves.

Foundation Cigar Co. has announced that it has released a special 7 1/2 x 40 lancero of its original line, El Güegüense.

The release debuted at the 2016 IPCPR Convention & Trade Show in July, but has now begun shipping on a national level. The special 13-count boxes feature artwork by Thief Operandi that has been laser printed onto the boxes.

El Güegüense is a Nicaraguan puro with a corojo 99 wrapper and binder. It is produced at Tabacos Valle de Jalapa S.A. in Estelí, Nicaragua.

Suggested retail pricing is $12.50 per cigar and it is limited to 250 boxes of 13.
