After a tobacco-buying trip to the San Andres region of Mexico, Foundation Cigars founder and master blender Nick Melillo was inspired to create a cigar that not only paid tribute to the region’s rich tobacco fields but to the ancient Olmec civilization. Thus, the Foundation Olmec Claro cigar line was born. The Olmecs inhabited the San Andres area from approximately 1600 to 400 BCE. They were known to cultivate tobacco and smoke cigars, and they had built pyramids using precise mathematical formulas. The Olmec Claro cigar features a warm tan Mexican San Andres wrapper that covers a Nicaraguan binder and filler. The leaves for the filler have been bale-aged for three years prior to rolling. This special aging process helps the leaves develop their unique flavor profile.

Cigar Origin
Nicaragua
Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
Despite many decades of war and revolution in this Central American country, the cigar industry has thrived due to the hard work and tenacity of Cuban exiles to the land such as Plasencia, Padron, Oliva, Ortez, and others. Tobacco has been a force of social stability, and the country is now one of the principal exporters of premium cigars in the world.
Strength

Full
Wrapper Color
Natural
Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Natural wrapper, also known as Colorado Claro, is light brown in color.
Wrapper
Mexican
The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Mexican tobacco is very dark and the best leaves can be used as maduro wrappers. In San Andres de Tuxtla (in the state of Vera Cruz), there is a very interesting production of Sumatra seed wrappers. Dark air cured tobaccos are produced in Mexico, mainly in Vera Cruz and Tampico provinces, on the East Coast along the Gulf. There is also some production in Yucatan. Mexico's volcanic soil yields tobacco that is spicy and earthy, with a very distinctive flavor.
Binder
Nicaragua
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
Nicaraguan cigar binders are produced mainly in Esteli and Jalapa, both lands with volcanic soil and excellent climate for growing tobacco. Binders grown in Jalapa have sweet undertones. Corojo, Habana2000, Criollo, and Maduro binders are all produced in Nicaragua.
Filler
Jalapa
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
Esteli
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
Rolled by
Handmade
Handmade cigars are completely made by hand from start to finish.
Manufacturer
AJ Fernandez
Cuban expatriate AJ Fernandez produces handmade cigars in Esteli, Nicaragua at the Tabacalera Fernandez factory. Fernandez learned everything he knows about tobacco and cigarmaking from his late grandfather, cigar legend Alejandro Robaina.

Tyler E.05/26/2026About: Foundation Olmec Claro Toro 6" * 52

Similar to a Padron 64 natural for me. Some creamy sweetness but mainly bold earthy flavors

Harold L.05/21/2026About: Foundation Olmec Claro Robusto 5" * 50

Wrapper toothy, no veins, with tight bonding and dense construction. Clipped cold taste red pepper with a medium draw, First third, red pepper, mineral earth and some sweetness. Then red pepper, cocoa powder and slight sweetness,. Finally cocoa powder and nuts. Key flavor red pepper and cocoa powder, Sharpness to tongue slight. Strength medium. Burn Quality even, Ash quality flaky 3/4", Comments Burns slightly fast, reminds me of oriental sweet spicy sauces. Pairs well with rum, brandy and coffee. It has a nice balance of spice, dry earth and sweetness.

Both the maduro and claro are bangers, I lean more towards the claro though. Great smoke!

Robert D.12/16/2025About: Foundation Olmec Claro Corona Gorda 5"1/2 * 48

I really loved it. One of my favorites from Foundation. It's a full body cigar that is well balanced.

Cycchaise B.11/13/2025About: Foundation Olmec Claro Toro 6" * 52

Final Thoughts I’m a big fan of Foundation cigars, and the Claro impressed me with its outstanding balance and sweet-and-spicy profile. I enjoyed the cigar, and it makes my “liked” list.

Juan Antonio P.11/03/2025About: Foundation Olmec Claro Toro 6" * 52

A dense cigar with an incredible flavor. It should be smoked gently and nicely.

Dugué J.01/04/2026About: Foundation Olmec Claro Corona Gorda 5"1/2 * 48

Nice aroma, a solid Maduro. You must have in your rotation!!

Amazing stick. One of the better values out there and a must try for any enthusiast.

David M.12/28/2024About: Foundation Olmec Claro Grande 6" * 60

My new go to cigar. This cigar and the Padron No. 4 are, I would say have similar similarities, very good cigar. I just wish the shelves were filled with boxes to buy.

Matthew A.10/29/2024About: Foundation Olmec Claro Grande 6" * 60

Very solid cigar, great smoke

Michael S.10/21/2024About: Foundation Olmec Claro Robusto 5" * 50

strong lil cigar nice smoke good flavors

Andy S.10/06/2024About: Foundation Olmec Claro Corona Gorda 5"1/2 * 48

The Foundation Olmec Claro started off a bit underwhelming in the first third, but really picked up in the second and final thirds. Initially, there were subtle notes of cedar and pepper, but it wasn’t until the second third that richer flavors of dark chocolate and earth emerged, adding a welcome complexity. The final third brought it home with robust, layered flavors that were smooth yet bold. Construction was solid but did require a a few minor touchups.

Eugene H.08/22/2024About: Foundation Olmec Claro Corona Gorda 5"1/2 * 48

A little too spicy for my preference, but plenty of character and taste profile kept developing. Definitely worth a try

Rodolfo C.08/03/2024About: Foundation Olmec Claro Corona Gorda 5"1/2 * 48

Great smoke from the start to finish, I can smoke this everyday!!!

Jose V.07/20/2024About: Foundation Olmec Claro Corona Gorda 5"1/2 * 48

Great cigar

Dan B.07/20/2024About: Foundation Olmec Claro Grande 6" * 60

Very good construction burn and draw flavors were sweet creamy nutty throughout. There was nothing wrong with this stick but wasn't my personal cup of tea for whatever reason

Alex M.07/16/2024About: Foundation Olmec Claro Robusto 5" * 50

Delicious and smooth, which I got a larger size.

Albert N.06/29/2024About: Foundation Olmec Claro Robusto 5" * 50

Tasty cigar. I prefer the Maduro counterpart more but theres hard to say anything bad about the Claro too. Both blends taste better in the corona gorda format IMO.

Marc G.06/26/2024About: Foundation Olmec Claro DB Corona 7" * 54

Dynamite stick with uncommon natural San Andres wrapper!

Marc G.06/26/2024About: Foundation Olmec Claro Toro 6" * 52

Dynamite stick with less common natural San Andres wrapper

No!

Andrew G.06/19/2024About: Foundation Olmec Claro Corona Gorda 5"1/2 * 48

This one is a staple in my collection and a nice change of pace from the maduro sticks that I usually smoke. The lighter San Andreas leaf is full of wood, a little earth and plenty of spice! You'll pretty much always find a box of both claro and maduro in my humidor at any given time.

Michael D.06/16/2024About: Foundation Olmec Claro Robusto 5" * 50

good smoke

Harold B.06/04/2024About: Foundation Olmec Claro Corona Gorda 5"1/2 * 48

Great Cigar

Chris S.05/21/2024About: Foundation Olmec Claro Robusto 5" * 50

Ordered two of these, smoked them, immediately bought a box. Similar to a My Father Mi Amor in flavor. The box press is the same as the Menelik, if you've had that, but the draw is much better. Good spice with coffee notes. The maduro is also good, but the claro is much more versatile--can smoke during an afternoon or after dinner.

allan w.04/25/2024About: Foundation Olmec Claro Corona Gorda 5"1/2 * 48

Great cigar, only down fall for me is the finish is on the short side. Don’t smoke on an empty stomach

Hamlyn D.03/13/2024About: Foundation Olmec Claro DB Corona 7" * 54

Bold flavors. Medium plus. Dark coffee, clove and earth.

Olavo R.02/21/2024About: Foundation Olmec Claro Toro 6" * 52

Good smoke. Solid draw and construction.

Miguel E.02/04/2024About: Foundation Premium 5-Cigar Sampler with Cutter

Foundation cigars are for me a discovery. I tried them thanks to this pack. All cigars where great. I am not fond of full bodied strong cigars but the Gueguense Toro Huaco was super duper. The Charter Oak, the least expensive of the pack happens to be in my opinion the best cigar in this price range so I now got a whole box of them. The cigar cutter is a top quality cutter.

aaron02/02/2024About: Foundation Olmec Claro Toro 6" * 52

Good smoke

Vincent K.01/29/2024About: Foundation Premium 5-Cigar Sampler with Cutter

Quality cigars - some much better than others. Over all I’m a fan of Foundation cigars.

Vincent K.01/29/2024About: Foundation Olmec Claro Grande 6" * 60

The first one I had was so-so. I think I had it too early in the day, because the second one I had was incredible.

zac w.01/08/2024About: Foundation Olmec Claro Grande 6" * 60

This was a great smoke with lots of flavor, near perfect construction, and a long smoke time (almost 2hr). A real stand out from Foundation cigars. Well deserved its place on CA’s top 25.

Andrew G.01/08/2024About: Foundation Olmec Claro Grande 6" * 60

Very enjoyable smoke in all sizes. Nice notes of wood and spice. Very approachable and balanced for a full body. I will be keeping these stocked when available.

Jeremy H.01/07/2024About: Foundation Premium 5-Cigar Sampler with Cutter

Cashed my smoke rings in on this for an Xmas present and it was excellent all around. I love the wise men the most but all were good stuff. The charter oak had a bit of a firm draw otherwise perfect marks. I like the cutter and pamphlet too.

Stephen S.12/26/2023About: Foundation Olmec Claro Toro 6" * 52

First one of this brand I've tried. Excellent in all respects.

Andrew G.12/22/2023About: Foundation Olmec Claro DB Corona 7" * 54

Very enjoyable smoke from Foundation. Nice notes of wood and spice. Very approachable for a full body. This one is definitely box worthy.

Chris K.12/11/2023About: Foundation Olmec Claro Grande 6" * 60

Great smoke. A mild to full flavor without being over powering. A mild natural sweetness compliments throughout the cigar.

nicholas l.12/10/2023About: Foundation Premium 5-Cigar Sampler with Cutter

My first Foundation cigars did not disappoint. This is how a sampler should be put together. Including a product guide should be a standard, and I hope more brands will do the same. The cutter, too, is beautiful and heavy duty. I haven’t used it because I don’t want to tarnish it, but trust me it’s sharp haha

aaron12/09/2023About: Foundation Premium 5-Cigar Sampler with Cutter

Enjoy the sampler.. the perfect cutter is a nice bonus

Martin F11/21/2023About: Foundation Olmec Claro Toro 6" * 52

Very smooth and balanced cigar. Primary flavor I got was chocolate balanced with sweet/cream/spice.earthy flavors. Very well done and a good value. Only small negatives were loose draw and slight uneven burn...neither a big deal.

Whether you’re a Foundation Cigars fan or have never tried them, this is the way to sample a few different samples of Nick Melillo’s amazing blends. He’s a master and I’m already a big fan. You get a great cutter which is my second Foundation cutter, as well as a product guide with a description of all his blends. Neptune rocks!

Jason A.09/15/2023About: Foundation Olmec Claro Grande 6" * 60

Overall, very nice smoke. Burn was funky on more than one of these, but the taste, look, and experience more than made up for it. Definitely would recommend.

My favorite cigar. The impeccable wrapper hints at hand-crafted mastery. Burning slowly and evenly. This cigar's taste and craftsmanship are unrivaled - a must-try for aficionados. Savoring it elevates smoking to an art form.

Kyle G.03/17/2023About: Foundation Olmec Claro Corona Gorda 5"1/2 * 48

First one had a couple long hard veins messing with draw and burnun til I pulled them out. After that it was decent, but they did ruin the 1st 3rd. Hopefully the next one is solid

Marcus H.03/02/2023About: Foundation Olmec Claro Grande 6" * 60

Eduardo G.02/27/2023About: Foundation Olmec Claro Corona Gorda 5"1/2 * 48

A great tasting quick smoke. I love this size cigar this cigar smokes great. Getting more to have for those times where you want something smoke sweet and not too strong in nictonie.

Wow, just wow! This has quickly become a favorite this year, no question. The flavors started off as cocoa with a little saltiness to it, but peppery on the retrohale. Like a nice cup of Mexican hot cocoa. The strength toned down a little bit halfway through, but the end had almost a bacon bits like flavor to it. I'll be looking for another box of these for sure!

Foundation never disappoints. These are a fantastic smoke with great San Andres flavors. These are a new favorite.

Nick Melillo is brilliant and he didn't dissapoint with the Olmec. Great consruction complimented by rich flavors of cocoa, graham, bread, chocolate, cocoa and earth with a sweet caramel touch throughout. Damn good smoke, claro > maduro.
