Foundation Cigars 10th Aniversario Salomon 7×58

In​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ 2015, Nicholas Melillo started Foundation Cigars with a single idea: to give the premium tobacco heritage a well-deserved honor and, at the same time, to bring some new artistry and authenticity into the craft. The Foundation has successfully positioned itself as one of the most influential boutique cigar companies over the past decade and is now recognized for its strong ties to culture, history, and exceptional quality. To mark this achievement, the Foundation has unveiled its 10th Anniversary Salomon, a cigar that encapsulates the last ten years of innovation, craftsmanship, and passion for the leaf.

The Foundation 10th Anniversary Salomon is essentially one of the most clear-cut examples of Melillo’s art of blending dedication. This 7 x 58 handcrafted perfecto is both flavorful and visually appealing. The wrapper that covers the cigar is a Havana Seed hybrid grown on the farm where Foundation’s story unfolds, located in the Connecticut River Valley. A Brazilian Mata Fina binder and some Nicaraguan fillers quite nicely complement each other in this cigar hidden beneath the beautiful wrapper. This band, too, is imbued with significance: it features St. George, the patron saint of Abyssinia, and stands for victory, faith, and endurance—qualities, which, according to the company, mirror the decade-long journey of excellence of the Foundation.

The 10th Anniversary Salomon is a full-bodied and rich in flavor cigar layered with complexity that is apparent right from the first light. The rich taste of the 10th Anniversary Salomon is characterized by dark chocolate, espresso, and spice, rounded off with modest hints of earth and old leather. The Brazilian Mata Fina binder sweetens the 10th Anniversary Salomon and gives it a nice smooth body, while the Nicaraguan filler tobaccos give it an intense and complex flavor that changes in a beautiful manner from the very first draw to the last. On every draw, the company balance and pacing is at its best- a cigar that should be enjoyed slowly revealing its complete tale one change at a time.

The Foundation 10th Anniversary Salomon is a celebration, and therefore, a release made in limited quantities to honor ten years of dedication to the craft. It is a must-have for fans and a collector’s dream come true – the first step in experiencing modern cigar history at its landmark moments. This limited edition can be purchased from a select group of premium retailers or on our online humidor, if the stock is still available. Whether it is a first ten years toast to the Foundation or just a cigar that blends heritage with the artistry, this is the one to ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌keep.
