Foundation Cigar may be one of the new kids on the block of premium cigars, but that shouldn’t scare you away. The newer cigar company was founded by Nicholas Melillo just over five years ago and has been producing some exceptional cigars since its launch. If that name sounds familiar, Nick was the man at Drew Estate responsible for sourcing the quality leaf used in Drew Estate’s traditional cigar offerings and implementing quality control standards that transformed his former employer into the behemoth it is today. He credits his passion for tobacco to his grandfather who gave him his 1st cigar when he was 18. From there, Nick devoured knowledge on tobacco and turned his passion into a career. With 20 years of experience at his back, he launched Foundation and quickly established a reputation for creating outstanding cigars under his own banner.
The Tabernacle box tells the story of the cigar’s name. The artwork features an image of Haile Selassie, 225th King of Abyssinia, now present day Ethiopia. His lineage traces directly to King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. Made with one of the most sought-after wrapper leaves in the world, The Tabernacle Broadleaf Maduro is everything you look for in a premium cigar. The cigar is patiently aged with a San Andrés binder and fillers from Esteli in Nicaragua and the Jamastran Valley in Honduras. The brand is named for the hallowed sanctuary of Hebrew scripture; The Tabernacle which housed the Ark of the Covenant before the building of the Temple of Solomon.
