Foundation The Upsetters Small Axe by Foundation Cigar Company is a vibrant, aromatic cigar that celebrates the fusion of Jamaican tradition and Nicaraguan craftsmanship. Created by Nicholas Melillo, The Upsetters line pays tribute to the spirit of Jamaica and its rich tobacco heritage, blending island sweetness with the complexity and depth of Nicaraguan tobaccos.

Handcrafted at Tabacalera A.J. Fernandez in Estelí, Nicaragua, the 4.5 x 40 Small Axe features a golden Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and a unique combination of Jamaican Cow Tongue (a rare varietal of Jamaican tobacco) and Nicaraguan fillers. This blend is mild-to-medium-bodied and infused using Foundation’s proprietary herbal infusion method, producing a distinctive aromatic profile unlike any other.

The smoke opens with notes of sweet cream, vanilla, and honey, followed by subtle layers of spice, cedar, and herbal citrus. As the cigar develops, nuances of toasted nuts, coffee, and floral sweetness emerge, leading to a smooth, clean finish with lingering sweetness and gentle spice.
