Foundation The Upsetters is unlike anything else in the premium cigar world—a bold fusion of Nicaraguan long-filler tobaccos and Caribbean herbal infusion, inspired by Jamaican roots culture and the rebellious spirit of the reggae movement. Created by Nick Melillo, The Upsetters is named after the iconic band led by Lee "Scratch" Perry and pays homage to Kingston's vibrant music scene while incorporating the ancient Jamaican technique of “cow tongue” curing to enhance aroma and flavor.
Wrapped in a smooth Claro or Maduro wrapper, The Upsetters is a medium-bodied cigar with a distinctive, sweet-spice profile. Flavors include floral herb, cocoa, cinnamon, cedar, citrus zest, and light tea, presented in a series of creative vitolas such as Zola, Rock Steady, Django, and The Skipper. Each cigar offers a unique rhythm—some with bolder strength, others more mellow and sweet—ideal for both new smokers and adventurous aficionados looking to experience something culturally immersive and different.
Now available at The Tobacconist of Greenwich, The Upsetters is perfect for fans of infused cigars, Jamaican-inspired blends, and those exploring Foundation’s more experimental lines beyond El Güegüense or The Tabernacle. Whether you’re searching for cigars with a smooth aromatic twist, or building out a humidor with flavorful, music-infused expressions, The Upsetters delivers a truly original smoking experience.
