Nicholas Melillo grew up in Connecticut, fell in love with Broadleaf tobacco, and spent years as a master blender at Drew Estate before founding Foundation Cigar Company in 2015. The Tabernacle — available in Connecticut Broadleaf and Connecticut Shade — is his signature achievement: a deeply complex, full-flavored blend produced at AJ Fernandez's La Soledad factory that earned 94 points from Cigar Aficionado on release. El Güegüense, named for the oldest written work in the Americas, is a Nicaraguan puro of remarkable balance. Charter Oak explores the full range of Connecticut leaf across multiple expressions. Every Foundation cigar is built on provenance, storytelling, and respect for the tobacco.

Still great from over 20 years ago
I bought my bag of North Sea at the Tacoma Mall Tinder Box when I started smoking pipes way back in 2003. I had used very little, and hadn't reopened it until recently. It still had great aroma, good moisture, and to my surprise it didn't taste stale at all! Great blend! 10/10! I highly recommend!

Apostate Sampler 3: Return of the Apostates
Only $5.99?!
Best Cigar at that price point I have ever had. Especially in today's economy we all should be stocking up on these. Beats many $20 plus cigars I have had in my 35 plus years of cigar smoking.
