Foundation Cigar Co. was launched in 2015 by Nick Melillo. Before starting his own company, Melillo was perhaps best known in the industry for running production at the Drew Estate factory in Nicaragua. The Tabernacle is the cigar that showcases Melillo's passion for Connecticut Broadleaf. Melillo blended this smoke using a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper over a San Andres binder and combined filler using tobacco from Honduras and Nicaragua.
