Foundation Cigars marks its 10-year milestone with the breathtaking 10-Year Aniversario, a limited-edition Salomon that blends artistry, legacy, and tobacco craftsmanship into one unforgettable smoke. Crafted in Nicaragua by AJ Fernández, this majestic 7-inch, 58 ring gauge Perfecto Salomon is built for those moments worth celebrating. The wrapper is a rare hybrid grown in the Connecticut River Valley, combining Broadleaf and Havana Seed genetics, giving it a dark, rich appearance and powerful flavor. Beneath that lies a Brazilian Mata Fina binder, supporting a filler blend drawn entirely from Nicaragua—tobaccos sourced from Estelí, Condega, and Jalapa. The result is a medium-to-full profile loaded with complexity. On the palate, expect waves of creamy cedar interlaced with dark chocolate and espresso. Earthy tones rise through the smoke, with layers of spice and aged tobacco adding depth. As the smoke evolves, subtle sweetness emerges—think molasses or red fruit—balancing the intensity. The Salomon format accentuates every nuance, lending a long and beautifully tapering burn that rewards patience. More than just a cigar, this limited release embodies Foundation’s roots, ambition, and artistry. The perfect pick when you want something grand, memorable, and profoundly well made.
