"The Wise Man Maduro Corona" is the name of a particular, highly regarded premium cigar made by the Foundation Cigar Company. The name honours Menelik I, sometimes referred to as "The Wise Man" in Ethiopian mythology, who was the son of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba.

 The Knowledgeable Man Maduro Cigar Corona

The Garcia family of My Father Cigars and Nicholas Melillo of Foundation Cigar Company collaborated on the cigar. It has won many awards and been well-knowingly supported by podcaster Joe Rogan.

First Third: There is a rich, bittersweet balance at the beginning of the encounter. Toasted cedar and silky leather are mixed with strong notes of dark chocolate and espresso. The end and retro hale usually have a strong red pepper spiciness.

Second third: The profile grows more intense and "dessert-like" in the second third. To counterbalance the first sharpness, sweeter aromas of mocha, dark cherry, and dried fruits appear. While the pepper spiciness stays constant, you could also perceive a nutty undertone that is sometimes characterised as roasted almond or walnut.

Last Third: The tastes change to a savoury, earthy finish. The main flavours are rich soil and leather, with lingering notes of dark chocolate and dark-roast coffee. As the cigar gets closer to the nub, some smokers notice a "beef jerky" or meaty flavour, and the spice frequently gets stronger towards the end.
