One of my favorite lounges and retailers is hosting a very special Fuente Friday. Carlito Fuente himself will be appearing at Fox Cigar Scottsdale on Friday, October 16. Very limited information has been provided by Fox Cigar. Event starts at 4pm on Friday and will feature rare and highly sought-after Fuente cigars and goods for sale. No outside cigars or merchandise is accepted for autograph signatures. A very special event for Fuente Fans in Arizona!
We’re back with another unboxing this first day of October. As a big fan of AJ Fernandez, I was excited to come across this blend at a great price point. Furthermore, this blend focuses on celebrating Mexican culture, which means we get Mexican San Andres tobacco on this particular blend. Head over to YouTube or click the link above to watch the full video. Stay well, be well, smoke well!
Foundation Rare Finds Ceremony — a Foundation Cigar Co. collaboration exclusive to The Tobacconist of Greenwich. Two years in development. Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper grown in the same River Valley soil that has produced the world’s finest wrapper leaf for centuries.
The Connecticut River Valley has been growing tobacco longer than the United States has existed. Long before it became the cradle of world-renowned Broadleaf, its soil was tended by the indigenous peoples who understood tobacco as something more than agriculture — a bridge between the physical and the spiritual, a vessel for prayer, gratitude, diplomacy, and communal ritual.
Ceremony returns to that origin.
The Collaboration
When The Tobacconist of Greenwich approached Nicholas Melillo about building something for the Rare Finds Collection, the conversation didn’t start with wrapper grades or ring gauges. It started with history. With the Connecticut River Valley itself. With the iconic Indian emblem that has graced The Tobacconist of Greenwich brand for over fifty years — a symbol that demanded a cigar worthy of what it represents.
Two years later, Ceremony is that cigar.
The Leaf
The wrapper is Connecticut Broadleaf grown in the same fertile River Valley soil that has defined American tobacco cultivation since before the nation existed. This is the leaf that built the Broadleaf reputation — dark, oily, substantial, capable of carrying a cigar while contributing its own distinct character. The binder and filler are drawn from Nicaragua, creating a medium to full-bodied profile that is at once grounded and complex.
Earthy. Layered. Deeply satisfying.
The Presentation
Ceremony arrives in what may be the most striking packaging in Rare Findshistory. A hand-crafted leather presentation box — embossed, laced, and centered with a medallion bearing The Tobacconist of Greenwich’s iconic emblem. The box is a collector’s object before you’ve touched the cigars inside. Every detail of the presentation reflects the reverence this project demanded.
The Maker
Nicholas Melillo founded Foundation Cigar Co. on a belief that great cigars begin with great tobacco, great land, and unrelenting respect for the craft. Lines like The Tabernacle, Olmec, and Charter Oak have earned Foundation its place among the most respected independent cigar companies in the world. With Ceremony, Melillo has created something that honors both the history of the leaf and the partnership that made it possible.
Why This Cigar
Ceremony is more than a cigar. It is an invitation to pause — to recognize tobacco not merely as a leaf, but as something that has carried meaning across cultures and centuries. The Connecticut River Valley gave American tobacco its foundation. Ceremony pays that debt.
400 boxes. 14 cigars per box. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.
Now available exclusively at The Tobacconist of Greenwich — trusted purveyors of rare and exclusive cigars since 1974.

I smoked a special cigar today – Davidoff Robusto Real Especiales 7 Limited Edition 2019. I vividly remember this cigar being released and being unable to afford a few singles or a box at the time.
Fast forward 6 years, and the manager at my local lounge gifted me this cigar when we got on the subject of Davidoff. It’s these little gestures from my lounge that makes me feel grateful for these friendships.
I truly think the best cigars are ones you share with friends and family.
Stay well, be well, smoke well, my friends.
