The Foundation Charter Oak Pegnataro Limited Edition is a heartfelt homage from master blender Nicholas Melillo to his grandfather, Frederick "Freddy" Pegnataro—a man whose legacy of family, hard work, and love of cigars lives on in this exceptional blend. As part of the award-winning Charter Oak line, the Pegnataro Limited Edition brings deeper complexity and refined richness to a fan-favorite series known for its value and quality.

This 5.5" x 48 corona is handcrafted in Nicaragua and features a stunning Connecticut Shade wrapper, known for its bold flavor and natural sweetness. Beneath it lies well-aged Nicaraguan binders and fillers that deliver a medium to full-bodied profile with extraordinary balance and depth.

Expect layered notes of dark chocolate, espresso, earth, black pepper, and dried fruit, all wrapped in a slow-burning, box-pressed format that enhances the flavor and draw. Presented in an elegant 12-count box, the Pegnataro is both a collector’s item and a deeply personal expression of Foundation's roots.
