About the Olmec Range

Following a tobacco-sourcing trip to Mexico's San Andrés region, Foundation Cigars founder and master blender Nick Melillo was inspired to create a cigar that not only honors the area's rich tobacco heritage but also pays homage to the ancient Olmec civilization. This inspiration gave rise to the Foundation Olmec Claro cigar line. The Olmecs, who inhabited the San Andrés region between 1600 and 400 BCE, were renowned for cultivating tobacco and smoking cigars, as well as for constructing pyramids based on precise mathematical principles. The Olmec Claro cigar features a warm tan Mexican San Andrés wrapper, complemented by a Nicaraguan binder and filler. The filler leaves are meticulously bale-aged for three years prior to rolling, allowing them to develop a distinctive and refined flavor profile.
