Foundation Cigar Company is dedicated to quality, consistency, balance, flavor, and building brands with heart and soul.
Founder Nicholas Melillo
With over 20 years of love and dedication for the industry, we merge old world traditions with modern-day styles and customs to produce unique premium cigars. Our goal is to work with specially selected tobacconists who recognize our passion and dedication for quality artisan products. We have developed strong relationships with some of the best tobacco growers throughout the world and have established our production in the valley of Esteli, Nicaragua.
Founder and master blender, Nicholas Melillo has traveled the world procuring tobacco, toiled in factories overseeing production, and blended some of the top-rated and best-selling cigars in the industry.
Under his watchful eye, Foundation Cigars are inspected and each bale of tobacco is smoked to verify flavor, combustion, and aroma.
Our mission is to provide the best hand-made cigars to connoisseurs around the world.
Always on the level,
Nicholas Melillo & Foundation Cigar Co.
