Foundation Cigars

Craftsmanship & Blend
Each Foundation cigar is hand-rolled by master torcedores using the finest Nicaraguan tobaccos sourced from Aganorsa and A.J. Fernandez farms—two of the most respected names in the industry. Melillo personally oversees the blending process to ensure each cigar delivers impeccable construction and balance. Whether wrapped in a silky Connecticut Shade or a bold Maduro, every Foundation creation showcases the harmony between strength, flavour, and elegance.

Flavour Profile
Foundation cigars cover a diverse range of tasting experiences. From the deep, earthy and cocoa-rich Tabernacle line to the smooth and creamy Charter Oak series, and the balanced sweetness of the Olmec range, there’s something for every palate. Expect layers of chocolate, espresso, wood, pepper, and cream with an underlying sweetness that makes each smoke both complex and approachable.
