Foundation Cigar Company

Nicholas Melillo founded Foundation Cigar Company in 2015. In the company's own account, its work combines tobacco knowledge, traditional craftsmanship, and distinct stories for individual lines. Its portfolio includes The Tabernacle and Olmec, both represented in Cigario, as well as Charter Oak, The Wise Man, and others. These names describe different cigars rather than one universal Foundation blend. For any particular product, the wrapper, dimensions, and origin should be verified separately instead of being generalized from the company description.

Founder

Nicholas Melillo describes years spent sourcing tobacco and developing blends. He established Foundation as his own company in 2015.

Lines in Cigario

The Tabernacle and Olmec are separate Foundation lines. Each has its own story and specifications, so they should not be merged into a single product line.
