Foundation Cigar Company is proud to celebrate its 10-year anniversary, a milestone rooted in a passion for tradition and craftsmanship. Founded by Nicholas Melillo, whose journey in the cigar industry spans decades, Foundation has become a beacon of quality and creativity, blending history, culture, and artistry into every cigar.

This limited-edition 10-year anniversary cigar is a 7×58 Perfecto Salomon, crafted using a special Havana Seed grown in the Connecticut River Valley. This exceptional tobacco is cultivated on the farm that is also home to Foundation’s corporate offices, further embodying the company’s deep connection to its roots and commitment to excellence.

The artwork for this commemorative release draws inspiration from St. George, the patron saint of Abyssinia, reflecting the deep connection between heritage and excellence that defines Foundation Cigars. This unique design honors the spirit of resilience, triumph, and dedication that has guided the company over the past decade.

Thank you for being a part of our journey. Here’s to 10 years of tradition and innovation, and to many more to come.

Nicholas Melillo
