THE TABERNACLE BY FOUNDATION CIGAR CO.
“BROADLEAF IS MORE THAN TOBACCO FOR ME. IT IS SOMETHING SACRED.”
— NICHOLAS MELILLO”
The Tabernacle is Foundation Cigar Company’s newest super premium cigar, boasting a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper and some of Nicaragua’s finest fillers. It is a combination of tastes that calls on founder Nicholas Melillo’s roots in the Connecticut River Valley and also his work with the finest artisanal tobacco batches in Nicaragua. “I want to show my love for Connecticut Broadleaf,” says Melillo. “I was born in New Haven where, at the turn of the century, there were many cigar factories.” Also wanting to continue showcasing the flavors of northern Nicaragua, Melillo blended The Tabernacle at AJ Fernandez’s factory in Estelí. “AJ grows some of his tobacco on the farm, La Soledad, where I lived on when I first moved to Estelí in 2003. I know firsthand that AJ’s farm is blessed with the perfect location for growing filler tobaccos. He has incredible tobacco inventories and gave me full access to some of his best leaf for this project.”

CHARTER OAK BY FOUNDATION CIGAR CO.
“I WANTED TO CHOOSE A NAME THAT REPRESENTS THE GREATEST SYMBOL OF MY HOME STATE OF CONNECTICUT, THE CHARTER OAK.”
—NICHOLAS MELILLO”
Foundation Cigar President Nick Melillo announces the completion of his newest brand, Charter Oak, set for release at the 2016 IPCPR Show in Las Vegas. Charter Oak also pays tribute to Melillo’s grandfather, who while earning a modest salary working for the Winchester Repeating Arms factory
after WWII, smoked exclusively, broadleaf cigars manufactured by FD Graves on State St, while, no joke, Rick Ardito’s grandfather, a guard at Winchester, also smoked FD Graves biggest selling broadleaf, Muniemakers.
Charter Oak Cigars hail from the same fertile valley in Connecticut that Master Tobacco Blender Nick R Agua aka Nick Melillo was born and raised. Charter Oak Cigars feature some of the most prized and sought after Cuban seed leaf varieties from the exquisite Esteli and Jalapa
regions of Nicaragua. The cigars are then wrapped in either a silky, beautiful Connecticut Shade wrapperor a hearty and rich Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper, leaving you with the perfect every day and every occasion cigar.
