Foundation Cigar Company – 10 Year Anniversary Cigar
To mark a decade of craftsmanship, innovation, and artistry, Foundation Cigar Company presents its 10 Year Anniversary Cigar – a limited-edition masterpiece that embodies the brand’s philosophy of heritage and excellence.
Founded by Nicholas Melillo, Foundation Cigars has become synonymous with quality, creativity, and storytelling. This commemorative cigar honours that legacy with an exclusive blend, a unique vitola, and a design that reflects both reverence for tradition and bold innovation.
A Decade in the Making
The 10 Year Anniversary cigar is a 7 x 58 Perfecto (Salomon), meticulously crafted with a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper and a Connecticut Havana Seed hybrid, cultivated for the very first time in the Connecticut River Valley – the same farm that houses Foundation’s headquarters. This home-grown tobacco captures the company’s deep connection to its roots, resulting in a blend that is truly one of a kind.
This limited edition celebrates the milestone of ten years of Foundation Cigars’ journey, symbolising a perfect balance between tradition and creative exploration.
The Blend
A medium to full-bodied smoke, the Foundation 10 Year Anniversary Cigar delivers an earthy, naturally sweet, and complex profile. The Brazilian Mata Fina binder brings depth and refinement, while the Nicaraguan fillers from Estelí, Jalapa, and Condega add a dynamic interplay of spice and smoothness.
The texture is dense yet creamy, with interwoven layers of cocoa, leather, and subtle spice that evolve beautifully from start to finish. Every draw reveals Foundation’s signature harmony between strength and sophistication.
A Symbol of Heritage
The striking band and box artwork are inspired by St. George, the patron saint of Abyssinia (modern-day Ethiopia). The design pays homage to courage, perseverance, and triumph – qualities that have defined Foundation Cigars since its inception. Each element of this release tells a story, from the tobacco’s origin to the artistry of its presentation.
A Collector’s Edition
The Foundation 10 Year Anniversary Cigar is a truly limited production release. Its rarity, impeccable construction, and unique blend make it a must-have for collectors and connoisseurs alike.
Every cigar represents a chapter in Foundation’s decade-long journey, making it a fitting tribute to the brand’s unwavering commitment to excellence.
