I had an Olmec 5.5x48 yesterday and it was really good. It started strong but quickly mellowed into an excellent perfect burning box pressed. Just sayin Herfing

From the foundation website:

The Heart Land of the Olmecs is the tropical lowlands of 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.

Trying not to buy any smokes for a while. This one sure has my name written all over it though.

Your name is "Olmec"?

Each to his own.

I like this smoke as well!

I recently attended a Foundation Cigars event. The rep said the Tabernacle was their most successful launch until Olmec. He said the Olmec is doing double the volume in first few months of release compared to Tabernacle. I do find it a bit pricey though, seems like no matter which vitola they’re around $14 MSRP.

Smoking a Tabernacle CT broadleaf now. Also an excellent cigar. They’re both a little pricey but oh so good.
