The Charter Oak Habano Torpedo is part of the Charter Oak line from Foundation Cigar Company, founded by Nicholas Melillo. The Charter Oak brand is Melillo’s homage to his native state of Connecticut, named after the historic Charter Oak tree that stood in Hartford for over six centuries before falling in 1856.
