Nick Melillo has been raking in the awards ever since his Foundation Cigar Company arrived on the scene. With the uber-popular El Gueguense line leading the way, Melillo upped the ante with his second release that has won over an intensely varied spectrum of cigar lovers from the novice to the most hardened connoisseur: The Upsetters.
The Upsetters series is named after Lee “Scratch” Perry’s legendary Jamaican house band and record label, perfectly embodying the spirit of the delectably rich Jamaican “cow’s tongue” tobacco leaf that is mixed with Nicaraguan tobaccos and submitted to a wildly unique “Caribbean atmospheric herbal fusion” process.
And for those on the go or those simply daydreaming of island sun, surf and sand, The Upsetters Ska is a wildly pleasing choice. These 4” x 32 cigars are cloaked in gorgeous Connecticut Shade wrapper leaves, which bring balance and sophistication to a sweet and creamy character mixed with sumptuous natural tobacco flavors.
