A Nicaraguan Corojo 99 wrapper over a binder and filler grown in Estelí, Jalapa and Condega makes the Foundation The Wise Man Corojo Robusto a Nicaraguan puro with a balanced medium strength in a classic 5 1/2 x 50 format.
The Wise Man line takes its name from the Ethiopian tale of Menelik, the son of the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon. This Corojo version uses a Nicaraguan Corojo wrapper that Foundation describes as sweet yet refined. The binder comes from Estelí and Jalapa, and the filler blends tobaccos from Estelí, Condega and Jalapa.
The profile is a harmonious blend of spice and earthy undertones, with a draw and a burn that stay even from start to finish. The 50 ring gauge keeps the smoke full and the flavours concentrated in the shorter Robusto length.
Foundation The Wise Man Corojo Robusto suits smokers who like a spicy Corojo wrapper balanced by sweetness and earth. It is a good choice for a shorter evening session or a weekend afternoon.

Draw was super tight. Flavors weren’t anything special or particularly nice. Rough aftertaste. Square that with a 31 price tag and I would have to say this is not worth the money. Would not buy again.
