Foundation Cigar Company, founded by Nicholas Melillo and affectionately known as "Nick R. Agua," has a special place in the premium cigar industry. With over 20 years of experience in the tobacco industry, Nick places emphasis on quality, consistency, balance, and flavor. Nicholas Melillo's journey in the cigar world started in the fields of Connecticut, where he worked at the renowned Drew Estate. Nick's early experiences in tobacco agriculture and his later roles as Executive Vice President and Master Blender at Drew Estate equipped him with a great understanding of the art of cigar making.
In 2015, Nick established Foundation Cigar Company with a mission to create cigars that reflect his passion for tobacco. Foundation Cigar Company is headquartered in Connecticut, which serves as a symbolic homecoming for Nick, given his history in the region. The brand embraces a global perspective, incorporating tobaccos from Nicaragua, Honduras, and beyond. One of Foundation's most renowned blends is "El Güegüense," a Nicaraguan puro that pays homage to a traditional Nicaraguan folk dance. This cigar received widespread acclaim. Their portfolio extends to other highly regarded blends like "The Tabernacle," "Charter Oak," and "Highclere Castle," each offering a unique smoking experience. The Highclere Castle Cigar is especially notable for its collaboration with the Carnarvon family, owners of the iconic Highclere Castle in England. Beyond crafting exceptional cigars, Foundation Cigar Company engages in community outreach and supports various charitable initiatives.
