Description
FOUNDATION HIGHCLERE CASTLE VICTORIAN TORO CIGAR
The Foundation Highclere Castle Victorian Toro blends history with modern craftsmanship. Lord Carnarvon, Adam von Gootkin, and Nicholas Melillo of Foundation Cigar Company joined forces for this unique project. Using detailed records from Highclere Castle, they set out to recreate the cigars enjoyed there in the 19th century. These were the same cigars smoked by royalty, aristocrats, and political leaders during grand gatherings.
Rated 93 by Cigar Aficionado and placed in their Top 25 Cigars of 2020, this Toro offers elegance and depth. It features an upper-priming Ecuadorian Habano wrapper in a rosado colorado shade, a rare Mata Fina binder, and Nicaraguan fillers from Estelí, Jalapa, and Ometepe.
From the first draw, flavours of espresso, oak, and caramel emerge. Soon, maple sweetness and black pepper add complexity. The texture remains creamy, while each third develops its own distinct character. Finally, the smoke closes with a rich, mineral finish.
With its balanced profile and refined style, the Foundation Highclere Castle Victorian Toro is a tribute to an era when cigars marked moments of importance. Enjoy this historic blend from our cigar shop and experience true premium cigar craftsmanship.
