Charter Oak Pegnataro

The Charter Oak Pegnataro is the latest in a long line of cigars that pair an Ecuadorian Connecticut-seed wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan fillers.

Both blends are debuting in a 5 1/2 x 48 coronas vitola. There will be 500 boxes made each of each blend per quarter.

The plethora of PCA releases from the company this year include a cigar commemorating a notable honor that Melillo was awarded last year by the Crown Council of Ethiopia and a cigar named after a famous Nicaraguan poet.

Two new blends will join Foundation Cigar Co.’s Charter Oak line this fall.
