COVID-19 Cigar Walk, Day 147: 2.0-Mile Cigar
There is nothing more satisfying than the Wise Man Maduro in Corona Gorda by Foundation Cigars when I’m in the mood and I had a craving for this beauty this morning.
By this time, I don’t think it’s a secret that this is one of the better cigar blends out in the marketplace today.

COVID-19 Cigar Walk, Day 76: 2.0-Mile Cigar
It has been quite a while since I’ve smoked this Vitola and I really enjoyed my brief experience with this delicious Wise Man Maduro today.
I thought or was hoping that the 46 Guage Corona Gorda Wise Man Maduro would be at least a two-hour smoke… it was… almost. Or, I just wanted it to last longer… wishful thinking.
Anyway, it was perfect for this morning’s “Easy” workout.

I last smoked the Toro version of Foundation Cigar’s Wise Man Maduro toward the beginning of the month (11/09/2018) in the Toro size. Today is the Wise Man Maduro Corona Gorda 46-Gauge (Robusto).
Today is my third or fourth time with the Wise Man Maduro. I executed my punch-cut for a perfect cold draw. I taste something sweet…
At the first third, I’m getting chocolate cake. Yep, that’s a first. Copious amounts of smoke provide a chewy earthy smoke that coats my tongue and mouth for a long lasting finish with just the correct amount of spice.
This is a very balanced but complex cigar. Leather and coffee have entered the party and everything seems to be blending into a very smooth smoking experience. Oh, and the strength ramps up too, so be warned; maybe this isn’t for beginners.
This is a keeper. I’ve been hanging on to make my decision. This deserves a spot in my TupperDor.
