Foundation 10 Year Aniversario Salomon

Celebrating a decade of unwavering dedication to quality and blending innovation, the Foundation 10 Year Aniversario Salomon stands as the crowning achievement of Nicholas Melillo and his boutique brand. This majestic double figurado, measuring a substantial 7 x 58 RG, is a sculptural work of art that demands the highest level of rolling expertise to shape. Its dramatic curves—tapered at both the head and the foot—promise a dynamic smoking experience that evolves constantly from the first light to the final nub.

Known throughout the industry as the "Chief of the Broadleaf," Melillo honors his Connecticut roots with a spectacular dual-wrapper design. This Limited Edition masterpiece artfully intertwines a grit-rich Connecticut Broadleaf with a spicy Connecticut Habano leaf. This interplay creates a visual and sensory contrast, offering alternating hits of earth and spice. Beneath this complex exterior lies a sweet, aromatic Brazilian binder—a signature component of Foundation’s highest-rated blends—securing a potent core of vintage Nicaraguan fillers. Few vitolas offer the sophisticated journey of a Salomon. The tapered foot provides an immediate, concentrated burst of flavor that slowly opens up into a cool, voluminous draw as the ring gauge expands to its massive 58 peak. Limited in production and presented in collector-quality boxes of 10, this anniversary release is a medium-full bodied tribute to ten years of excellence, offering a complex interplay of cocoa, pepper, and floral sweetness that is unlike anything else in the portfolio.

Master Blender Tasting Notes

Taste Profile: A harmonious clash of titans, featuring the dark chocolate and earth of the Broadleaf wrapper and the zesty cedar spice of the Habano, all smoothed out by the unique floral sweetness of the Brazilian binder.

Evolution: The Salomon shape dictates a theatrical performance; the draw starts with a concentrated intensity, mellowing into a rich, creamy, and cool smoke in the center, before finishing with a robust and savory strength.

Accolades: Marking the 10th Anniversary of Foundation Cigar Company, this release celebrates a decade of 90+ ratings and industry-shaping releases like The Tabernacle and El Güegüense.
