Foundation Cigar Co. Gets New U.K. Distribution

Foundation Cigar Co. has announced that its cigars will now be distributed in the United Kingdom by 1573 Cigars, a new distribution company.

“I am very excited to open the British market with 1573. We share the same passion for this industry, and they understand Foundation’s core principles” said Nicholas Melillo, owner of Foundation Cigars, in a press release.

George Frakes, Winston Marshall and Damien O’Donohoe have launched 1573 Cigars a new U.K. distributor. The name references 1573, the year that cigars arrived on British soil.

“It is a true honor to be Foundation Cigars’ U.K. Distributor. I can state with every fiber of my being that these are, without doubt, the finest cigars produced today,” said Frakes. “I first smoked Foundation in 2016 and was completely overwhelmed by the range’s depth of flavor, balance, complexity, and quality. The incredible story of both the brand and Nicholas Melillo sharpened our attention further. We have been intent on seeing Foundation Cigars at home on U.K. shelves and it is with great pride that we can now offer U.K. cigar smokers these same incredible experiences.”
