The Upsetters by Foundation Cigar Company is a bold and genre-defying infused cigar line inspired by Jamaican culture, reggae music, and the island’s long-standing tobacco traditions. Blended by Nicholas Melillo, this line combines traditional Nicaraguan craftsmanship with Caribbean flair, offering a unique twist on the infused cigar experience.

• Wrapper: Varies by vitola (most feature a Golden Connecticut Shade or Dark Maduro wrapper)

• Binder: Nicaraguan

• Filler: Jamaican Cow Tongue tobacco & Nicaraguan

• Origin: Nicaragua

• Strength: Mild to Medium

• Box Count: 20 cigars

Each vitola delivers a slightly different flavor profile, but all feature herbal sweetness, hints of spice, and a smooth, aromatic character. The infusion is subtle—not overpowering—allowing natural tobacco flavor to shine through with a touch of exotic complexity.

Popular vitolas include:

• Zola (Maduro Robusto)

• Django (Connecticut Shade Toro)

• Skipper (Petite Corona)

• Rock Steady (Churchill)

Though The Upsetters series is not rated by Cigar Aficionado, it has been well received among fans of flavored cigars and those looking for something different from the boutique market.

A flavorful tribute to rebellion, roots, and rhythm—The Upsetters stands apart as Foundation’s boldest and most unique offering.
