Foundation Rare Finds — Titans of Tobacco Collection

Foundation Rare Finds — Titans of Tobacco Collection. Nick Melillo doesn't follow trends. He sets them. As the founder of Foundation Cigar Company, he has built a reputation for blends that take risks — and deliver on them. The Tabernacle. The Wise Man. Charter Oak. Highclere Castle. Each release reflects a blender who understands tobacco at the leaf level and isn't afraid to push it somewhere new.

The Titans Exclusive

For The Titans of Tobacco 2026, Melillo has created a Foundation Rare Finds blend that exists only within this collection. This is not a line extension. This is not a repurposed factory second. This is a cigar built from the ground up for this event — a release that reflects what happens when a master blender is given complete creative freedom and a stage worthy of the result.

The Legacy

Before Foundation, Melillo spent years sourcing tobacco across Nicaragua, Honduras, and beyond. He knows the farms. He knows the fermentation schedules. He knows which primings produce which flavors and why. That knowledge — accumulated over decades — is in every cigar Foundation produces. This Rare Finds release is the latest expression of that expertise.

Extremely Limited

Box of 10 cigars. When they're gone, they're gone.
