Roosevelt Maduro

Roosevelt Maduro from Founders Cigar Company is built as a nod to Theodore Roosevelt, rugged, loud enough to be noticed, and not afraid of a little dirt under its boots. This is the darker side of the Founders lineup, wrapped in Mexican San Andres Maduro and built around a medium-bodied profile with plenty of character. With a Dominican Olor binder and a filler blend of P. Cubano Seco, P. Cubano Ligero, and Pennsylvanian Broadleaf Viso, Roosevelt Maduro brings chocolate, black pepper, leather, coffee, caramel, wood, nuts, and a steady earthy core. It has the sweetness you want from a Maduro, but there's enough spice and grit to keep it from turning soft.

War Wagon's Take. Roosevelt Maduro is the Founders cigar we'd hand to someone who wants dark flavor without getting buried under strength. It's rich, earthy, and a little rowdy, but it stays balanced enough to smoke without feeling like a chore. This is a strong pick for Maduro fans, coffee drinkers, and anyone who likes a cigar with some swagger. It's not the clean daytime lane of Franklin Connecticut or the offbeat green-wrapper lane of Hamilton Candela. Roosevelt is boots, coffee, leather, and campfire energy, a Maduro that actually fits the name.
