If the Olmec Maduro is the night—dense, bold, mysterious—then the Olmec Claro is the dawn. But don’t mistake clarity for softness. This is a cigar with depth, drawn from the same sacred soil of Veracruz, Mexico, and wrapped in a rare San Andrés Claro leaf. Foundation Cigar Co. has taken the ancient Olmec inspiration and split it into two expressions: light and shadow, sun and stone.
The Claro brings a different kind of power—brighter, more mineral-driven, with a complex core that leans into creamy cedar, hay, and toasted almond. The white pepper tingles at the edge while a soft undercurrent of cocoa and floral spice carries the blend forward. This is elegance backed by ancient authority. It’s what the priests might have smoked at sunrise, facing east, waiting for signs in the clouds.
First Third: Creamy cedar and dry hay open the experience, with a flash of white pepper and floral lift.
Second Third: Toasted almond, mineral-rich earth, and a cocoa undertone deepen the profile.
Final Third: Pepper returns, layered over warm wood, light spice, and a honeyed finish.
Privada is about contrast. The journey between raw and refined, bold and elegant, dark and light. The Olmec Claro completes the duality introduced by its Maduro sibling—offering the same reverence for origin, but expressed through an entirely different lens. This cigar isn’t a second act—it’s a twin flame. Rare Claro-wrapped San Andrés, aged filler, and world-class construction all converge in a smoke that whispers what the Maduro roars. That’s balance. That’s Privada.
