From the website of Foundation Cigars, “Charter Oak also pays tribute to Melillo’s grandfather, who while earning a modest salary working for the Winchester Repeating Arms factory after WWII, smoked exclusively, broadleaf cigars manufactured by FD Graves on State St, while, no joke, Rick Ardito’s grandfather, a guard at Winchester, also smoked FD Graves biggest selling broadleaf, Muniemakers.”

Great smoke from beginning to end, easy draw and full of flavor. And the price makes it that much better. Excited to try more foundation cigars

A great med/full bodied stick at a great price! Build,burn,and draw were perfect. I got notes of pepper,spice,wood/oak,chocolate,leather,coffee and a slight sweetness. I will definitely buy again and recommend it to anyone.

Pretty good all around cigar, but nothing stood out as great. Worth trying however.

A good daily smoke. I got a couple of them when i was enjoying bradleaf more than i currently do. If youre looking for a broadleaf heavy stick thats a little one dimensional this is a good smoke for the money

This was my first Foundation cigar and I must say it is one of my new favorites. A cigar that doesn’t break the bank, stands up against others that cost more that are nowhere near the flavor and consistency as this one. A must have in your humidor. You will not be disappointed.
I can’t wait to try some of the other cigars Foundation has to offer.

Charter Oak is definitely the best bargain stick. Really quality chocolate, coffee and earth notes.

The Charter Oak from Foundation. From light up it hit hits hard with spice from all the Nicaragua leaf, but still has that great broadleaf smooth flavor. Second third starts to ramp down the spice, but still carries a flavor of cedar and chocolates. Final third all flavors seem to drop to nothing, but good cigar for the price point.
