The Heart Land of the Olmecs is the tropical lowlands of the modern-day Mexican states of Veracruz, Tabasco, and San Andrés Tuxtla. Today, this is the same region that grows some of the finest San Andrès Negro wrapper tobacco.
This seed variety is considered one of the oldest seed varieties in the world. Olmec cigars contain the finest Nicaraguan filler tobaccos from the Esteli and Jalapa valleys. After fermentation, these filler tobaccos are bale aged for three years before arriving on the production floor.
The San Andrés Negro wrapper tobacco comes from the rich volcanic soil of the land of the Olmecs. It is fermented slowly at low temperatures to preserve the natural oils that give flavor. The blend delivers a full-bodied smoking experience with rich flavors of cacao, dark espresso, and spice without being too aggressive.

I enjoy MS wrappers as a whole. This was a good smoke that I feel will benefit from some down time. Little muddled and gritty almost. Great construction and surprisingly long burn time. So far, I prefer the Claro version.

Unpopular opinion maybe but I preferred the Maduro over the Claro. The Maduro was so damn tasty! Chocolate, sweetness and a hint of pepper. Just hit my flavor profile and the Claro didn’t.

Foundation Olmec Maduro Toro, This is a flavorful smoke with deep notes of earth and pepper. The downside was that the first inch, nothing was really happening for me. The middle was starting to warm up and the final third is when I started to really enjoy it.

Love an MSA wrapper and this new one from Foundation doesn’t disappoint! I do like the Claro better, but both are good!
