Foundation Cigar Company was founded by Master Blender Nicholas Melillo who has nearly 20 years of experience under his belt. Many people may not be familiar with Foundation Cigars but there’s a really good chance you’ve already smoked some of their cigars without even knowing it. Their goal is to “work with specially selected tobacconists who recognize our passion and dedication for quality artesian products”. They pride themselves in developing strong relationships with some of the best tobacco growers throughout the world and establishing their production in the valley of Esteli, Nicaragua
