The Charter Oaks are part of my weekly smokes, were the first Foundation Cigars I had years ago, and still today like them, great price for a classic well balanced.

Snagged a few of these to try after falling in love with the maduro. Inspection of this leather colored wrapper reveals small grit to touch and many smooth veins. The closed foot gives you a blast of generic tobacco with mild sweetness. Slight spice on the tongue which intensifies with retrohales. Body remained medium throughout. Even burn with the perfect resistance and draw. I still favor the maduro over these buts it’s a nice change of pace when I am craving a lighter stick. Snag a few singles or fiver to see how they treat ya.

This is a very good budget stick. I prefer the Maduro over the habano, but for the price of 4-6$ I can’t complain. It’s not very complex or transitional but for the price I’m not expecting it to be. The cigar is very cedar forward with hints of bitter espresso, graham cracker, and the slightest touch of pepper. Construction was great all the way through. If you’re looking for a budget stick with the flavors mentioned above then this is your smoke especially in the Rothschild vitola.

Cigar was ok. Nothing special or interesting for me. Prefer the Connecticut. Maybe i got a bad one going to have to try another one since everyone tells me these are really good.

This being a $4.16 smoke (with the Oxford Premier discount) is a fabulous smoke. The cigar started off with a spicy black pepper and about half way through it picks up some sweetness. Okay, it does lacked a bit of complexity but for $4.16, this cigar is a winner as a budget smoke.

The Foundation Charter Oak Habano is a medium bodied cigar that offers an excellent smoking experience at a modest price point. The cigar is handmade in Nicaragua, using a blend of aged Nicaraguan tobacco, and wrapped in a beautiful Habano wrapper.
Upon lighting, the Charter Oak Habano delivers a burst of flavor with notes of wood, leather, and spice. The cigar burns evenly and produces a thick, light blue smoke, which adds to the overall enjoyment of the experience. The draw is smooth, and the construction is solid, ensuring that the cigar stays lit throughout the smoke.
As the smoke progresses, the flavors become more complex, with hints of cocoa, espresso, and pepper making an appearance. The Habano wrapper adds a touch of sweetness to the smoke, which balances out the bold flavors of the filler.
Overall, the Foundation Charter Oak Habano is an exceptional cigar that offers great value for its price point. It’s perfect for both seasoned smokers looking for a budget-friendly option and newbies looking to explore the world of premium cigars. Its flavorful profile and quality construction make it a go-to cigar for any occasion. Highly recommended!

I’m a huge fan of all 3 charter oak blends. The habano has plenty of flavor. It has the classic cedar, graham cracker and molasses. The construction was spot on as all charter oaks seem to be. The habano blend is becoming one of my favorites overall from foundation. The price on these I find to be such a value, most of these are $6-$7. These cigars outperform a lot of $8-$12 I smoke. Another winner for me!

Very solid cigar. Packed well and burns great, for the money it’s hard to beat. I prefer the Maduro to the Habano or Connecticut, but I will smoke all three happily. The flavors are not amazing or mind blowing, but they are good for the price.
