Joe Rogan Blog

As we all know Joe Rogan is a big fan of Cigars, he not only once smoked cigars during his podcast. And he mentioned in his channel  "They wouldn't smoke it for the taste, that's stupid. The tobacco is pure, you get it in your mouth and you get nicotine. It's not like cigarettes, it's another different kind of high, and it makes me feel relaxed." 

So lots of people wondering what's the difference between cigarettes and cigars, they both have tobacco inside, right? That's for sure, but there's also plenty of difference between them. If you want to know more about cigars and what's the cigar brand Joe Rogan smoked, please keep reading with me.

An Insight into Cigars

There are several things to consider when choosing an appropriate cigar. The first thing to consider is your taste preferences. Do you like mild, medium, or full-bodied ones? Different mixtures of tobacco give different strengths.

Moreover, take into consideration the size and shape of the cigar. Usually, larger cigars will take time before they are smoked, unlike the smaller ones which may be convenient during short periods.

The origin of a cigar is another critical factor. Some regions are known for making high-quality cigars with unique flavors. Research and try cigars from various locations to find what you enjoy.

Now that you have chosen a suitable cigar it is time to learn how to enjoy it properly. It's not like cigarettes, you need to use a proper cutter to make a clean cut through it and then proceed with a butane lighter or match while rotating the cigar as you puff.

Smoke slowly, taking deep inhalations so that all of the flavors develop; savor each draw, and its complex nuances. Remember smoking a cigar should be a leisurely activity, meaning you must isolate yourself in a silent and calming environment to create maximum relaxation.

Joe Rogan's Cigars

 Foundation Cigars which has become a staple in his podcast episodes. And also his all-time favorite, Wise Man Maduro Robusto cigar. Let's know more about it.

Foundation Cigars

Founded less than a decade ago in 2015, Foundation Cigars has quickly found a home in humidors across the country. This incredibly popular boutique brand is headed by Nick Melillo, a Connecticut native who grew up amongst the vast fields of tobacco grown in the state. Before founding Foundation Cigars, Nick Melillo worked at the famous Drew Estate Cigars as a tobacco purchaser and blender, and that experience proved to be invaluable for Foundation Cigars.

Boasting a portfolio full of top-rated blends, Foundation Cigars found success by consistently providing quality blends with balanced, deliciously good flavors. Nick Melillo is also a huge history buff, and his passion for history shines through and inspires every blend in the Foundation Cigars portfolio. The cohesive theming combined with top-notch cigars has made Foundation Cigars a memorable household name.

Foundation’s first release was Foundation El Gueguense, launching to huge success and cracking into Cigar Aficionado’s Top 25 Cigars of 2016 list. El Gueguense, or “The Wise Man,” is inspired by an old Nicaraguan work that satirized the newly arriving Conquistadors. El Gueguense is a Nicaraguan puro brimming with vintage Cuban-seed tobaccos that deliver rich medium-full-bodied flavors of leather, cedar, leather, and sweet toffee. 
2016 saw an expansion of the Foundation Cigars portfolio with the introductions of The Upsetters, The Tabernacle, and the Charter Oak lines, and all were well received. Charter Oak, a trio of affordable blends that cater to any aficionado, are some of the best cigars out there for the cost.

Another big year for Foundation Cigars was 2018 when it released the top-rated The Wise Man Maduro. These gems are a Maduro expression of El Gueguense that uses a top-quality San Andres Mexican wrapper in place of the Nicaraguan Corojo. The Wise Man Maduro delivers a bold medium-full-bodied tapestry of chocolate, pepper, leather, coffee, and sweet cream that earned it the #3 cigar of 2018 from Cigar Aficionado.
Foundation’s most recent release, Olmec, has swiftly won over the palates of discerning aficionados. This two-blend line honors the ancient Olmec people with the use of two unique Mexican San Andres wrappers, grown in the same area that the Olmecs once lived long ago. 

On episode #1590 of The Joe Rogan Experience, host Joe Rogan shouts out Foundation Cigar Company. After enjoying a few puffs on a Wise Man Maduro Robusto, Joe displays the custom-painted box Foundation’s Art Director Thief Operandi created for him.

“We created 2 custom hand-painted boxes for Joe on top of our award-winning Wise Man Maduro. One with his logo and another box showing Joe as a Nicaraguan shaman. I have been a long-time fan of JRE and it’s a huge honor to see Joe enjoying Foundation Cigars. ” says Nicholas Melillo.

In conclusion, Joe Rogan enjoys the relaxation and the feeling of smoking a cigar, meanwhile, he brings cigars a lot of attention, especially Foundation Cigars. It's also important to note that smoking cigars carries potential health risks, and making informed decisions regarding one's health is of prime importance.
