A cigar fit for a king (or queen), Foundation's Highclere Castle may very well be the brand's most luxurious offering to date. Company founder, Nick Melillo, has been blending top-notch cigars for years during his time with Drew Estate and since Foundations introduction to the market a few years back.

Melillo has been known for his affinity to Connecticut Broadleaf which is evident in some of his work such as the Liga Privada series with Drew Estate and The Tabernacle with Foundation. What makes Nick Melillo so respected in the world of blending is his ability to expertly craft blends using any and all tobaccos, and Highclere Castle is a great example of this - a creamy, golden brown Connecticut Shade wrapper, chewy Brazilian binder, and rich Nicaraguan long fillers provide for an experience that is unlike anything else in the Foundation portfolio.

Fair warning: it may be hard for you to go back to any other Connecticut wrapped blend after smoking Highclere Castle for the first time.
