Foundation Cigar Company Unveils Exclusive Event-Only Cigar: Primer Fábrica 1810
A Tribute to American Cigar-Making Heritage
Foundation Cigar Company has announced the launch of the Primer Fábrica 1810, a special event-only cigar dedicated to celebrating the rich history of cigar-making in the United States. This exclusive release honours the first known cigar factory in the U.S., which was established in Suffield, Connecticut, in 1810. The region remains integral to the craft of premium cigars, and Foundation Cigar Company, headquartered in the Connecticut River Valley, continues to champion this legacy.
A Unique and Exclusive Blend
The Primer Fábrica 1810 is a 5 ¾ x 60 soft box-pressed cigar featuring a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper and a Brazilian Mata Fina binder. The filler tobaccos remain undisclosed, adding an element of mystery and exclusivity to this commemorative cigar. This special edition will be available only at Foundation events throughout Summer 2025 and will not be for sale. Instead, customers can receive a free three-count box of Primer Fábrica 1810 with the purchase of select Foundation brands, including The Wise Man, Highclere Castle, Aksum, Charter Oak, and The Upsetters.
Honouring Connecticut’s Cigar Legacy
“This cigar is a tribute to the deep-rooted history of Connecticut tobacco and the origins of cigar-making in America,” said Nicholas Melillo, Founder & Master Blender of Foundation Cigar Company. “As a company headquartered in the Connecticut River Valley, we are proud to continue this legacy while offering a unique and exclusive experience for cigar enthusiasts.”
Where to Find the Primer Fábrica 1810
The Primer Fábrica 1810 will make its highly anticipated debut at the PCA Trade Show in New Orleans in April 2025, providing attendees with an exclusive first look. Following the trade show, this limited-edition cigar will be available only at Foundation events across the U.S., giving cigar aficionados a rare opportunity to experience a blend that pays homage to the rich history of American cigar-making.
For those eager to be part of this unique experience, attending a Foundation event this summer will be the only way to secure this extraordinary release. Keep an eye on Foundation Cigar Company’s event calendar to ensure you don’t miss out on this exclusive cigar celebrating Connecticut’s vital role in premium cigar craftsmanship.
