Melillo travels brought him under the spell of the tobaccos of Nicaragua, where he would eventually land as resident tobacco guru for Drew Estate Cigars. Melillo finally struck out on his own to launch the Foundation Cigar Company. His first release, El Gueguense “The Wiseman,” was an instant hit, laying the groundwork for a parade of overwhelming successes, each sharing a Nicaraguan spirit, all the while being deeply rooted in Melillo’s beloved home, Connecticut.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat You’ll Love About Foundation Cigars\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\nNick Melillo and his team at Foundation Cigar Company have created a wondrously varied library of fine smokes that have something to offer all cigar lovers, no matter their level of taste or experience.
