The Charter Oak Pegnataro Connecticut Shade is a refined and elegant cigar crafted to honor Nick Melillo’s grandfather, Pegnataro. Wrapped in a silky Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade leaf, this cigar delivers a creamy and nuanced smoking experience that perfectly balances subtlety with complexity. Beneath the golden wrapper lies a carefully curated blend of Nicaraguan binder and fillers, offering flavors of toasted nuts, sweet cedar, and hints of vanilla cream, all accented by a touch of gentle spice. Medium-bodied in strength, the Pegnataro is approachable yet sophisticated, making it ideal for both seasoned enthusiasts and newcomers seeking a premium Connecticut cigar with depth. Expertly constructed for a smooth draw and even burn, this cigar embodies Foundation Cigar Company’s dedication to craftsmanship and heritage. The Pegnataro Connecticut Shade is not only a tribute to family legacy but also a timeless choice for moments of quiet reflection or everyday enjoyment.
