Charter Oak pays tribute to Nicholas Melillo's Connecticut heritage and his grandfather, who smoked exclusively Connecticut Broadleaf cigars made by FD Graves on State Street after WWII. The line is offered in CT Broadleaf, Habano, CT Shade, and Especiales expressions, all using Nicaraguan binder and filler from Esteli and Jalapa. The Especiales sub-line offers two vitolas with different wrappers: the Pegnataro in CT Shade and the Pasquale in CT Broadleaf. Produced at Tabacalera AJ Fernandez in Esteli, Nicaragua.
