Sensory Blend Profile
Chocolate and coffee take the lead over earth and black pepper, with a creamy edge to the chocolate and more pepper on the retrohale.
Coffee and chocolate still lead as the cream fades and the pepper rises slightly, with earth building past the midpoint.
Earth joins the coffee up front, the pepper stays secondary and the chocolate drifts into the background.
Foundation Cigar Co. created Olmec as a tribute to the Olmecs, the Mesoamerican “mother culture” whose heartland around Veracruz and San Andrés Tuxtla now grows San Andrés Negro wrapper. It debuted at the 2022 PCA show in claro and maduro versions, the maduro the stronger of the two, made by AJ Fernandez in Nicaragua with filler aged three years after fermentation and wrappers fermented slowly at low temperature to keep their oils.
