- Last week, I had the pleasure of visiting Foundation Cigar Company's HQ in Connecticut and spending the day with Nicholas Melillo! Join us for discussion spanning from tobacco to licking cigars in almost an hour of abridged conversation!
You can't but be enthused by Nicholas's effervescent joie de vivre, and his own personal terruño. ☘
I can listen to this guy talk all day.
He's extremely passionate about what he does. It's infectious. He honed his storytelling/speaking style under the tutelage of Saka obviously.
This is a great video on Nick Melillo, but am finding the repetitive "jingle" to be distracting and OBNOXIOUS. Is there any way to remove and/or delete the jingle???
yeah agreed, the music only subtracts from the video unfortunately.
very pleasant interview, thanks
Four years late to the party but still an informative video. Great job Small Batch setting this up with Foundation!
You have no idea how good and so informative this video is. Nick is by far one of my favorite blenders.
Such a likable dude. Makes his brand that much more enjoyable.
Nick is so cool. He might be the reason I get into new world cigars.
Nick dropping the knowledge!
While I learned a ton and bookmarked this video to come back to and rewatch , the jingle and the written questions is probably the most annoying thing I’ve seen on an interview, if you’re driving or working and just listening to this you can’t look at the phone every damn minute to see what the question is! And the jingle! Well I guess there’s no point in mentioning why that sucks it’s so dumb and obvious. Other than that one of the best cigar education content I’ve seen recently.
Thanks Nick.....just fell in love with your cigars....SAVAGE BRO
Nikolai tesla said you could create anything with the numbers 3,6,9 here is absolute proof 3 parts of the tobacco plant . 3 parts to the construction of a premium cigar. A cigar smoked in 3rds making a successful recipe of the artist with tobacco that is aged 3 plus years. Nick I can't wait to try the tabernacle discovered this video this morning . Love what you are doing man.
Saying Olfactory correctly Nicholas! I really enjoyed hearing his approach and I agree completely about retrohaling. Now I’m craving a Foundation cigar!
Love the story of how you got the name foundation. Love the Wiseman and will be trying your other blends. Keep the good work! up!
People like him make you love cigars.
Really appreciate you guys putting this video together!!
What a great video! If you love and appreciate cigars and what it is that makes them special, you have to love this video. Nick clearly lives and breaths them and it makes me feel better spending my money on cigars that come from a guy that really gets it.
Awesome interview!!
You rock Nick! Small Batch Cigar is my go-to.
Thank you so much for this video. Great lessons. I saw Nick on Cigar Aficionado and he mentioned that he starts with the Toro 6x52 but happy to hear him talk about his favorite size. I think I love the Lancero and just grabbed a box of the DC. Huge fan of the Charter Oak as well happy he has a daily smoke. He’s the man and I can relate to his style so happy to support this guy.
I get a small bit of pride when I hear people talk fondly of Connecticut tobacco, or see it at cigar shops on boxes.
What a cool guy.
Nick told me this after I didn't buy the double corona. Thanks Nick.
HA! That's funny. I had to try it afterwards, and he's so right! Tabernacle DC is my new favorite OG Tab
Awesome video. Nick is a legend
Master class
This is the best tabaco man !!
Great video.
Dropping gems
Great Farmer 🌿
I and I enjoyed this video very much (other than the horrible bed of public domain music that didn’t work). Nick seems like a cool guy and I learned a great deal. I wonder when he smokes a pipe what tobacco does he smoke in it? (Save the ganja jokes for another time).
I’m so depressed. The tabernacle hasn’t tasted good to me in a year. I think my palate changed. I’ve smoked boxes of tabernacles and I’m just not tasting it the way I once did
The background music is annoying, but Nick is a really cool dude.
Great
Thanks so much for watching! Cheers to an amazing December
Thanks nick for your information, but I have to say your cigars have gotten that bubbling/shrinkage and are not burning right. Also have gotten many plugged ones too. I was a big fan of your cigars but I will have to discontinue purchase, I am very disappointed
Distribute
Please never use that background music again
