Rubén Darío, born on January 18, 1867 in Metapa (now Ciudad Darío), Nicaragua, is widely recognized as one of the greatest poets to have written in the Spanish language. His modernist poetry not only revolutionized the language but also served as a significant influence for future generations of poets. In addition to his literary contributions, Rubén Darío is revered as a national hero in Nicaragua, where the city of Metapa derived its name from the Nahuatl word "metl," meaning "place of magueys." The maguey plant holds deep cultural and religious symbolism in Central American mythology and art and was frequently featured in Darío's poems. This unique blend of flavors and strengths is what makes Melillo's creation truly exceptional, with the CT Broadleaf binder providing sweetness, while the Nicaraguan filler adds depth and intensity, all topped off with an exquisite wrapper.
In its brief existence in the cigar industry, Foundation has
achieved numerous accolades. Leading the charge is Nicholas
Melillo, a youthful but seasoned veteran of over 20 years in the
business. From his humble beginnings as an 18-year-old in a cigar
shop, to his time blending cigars at Drew Estate, to ultimately
founding Foundation, Melillo's journey has been nothing short of
extraordinary. Produced by AJ Fernandez, Metapa is a loving ode
to Nicaragua's artistic spirit according to Nicholas Melillo
himself. The name pays homage to renowned poet Rubén Darío and
his hometown of Metapa. This unique blend features Nicaraguan
fillers, Ecuadorian Sumatra maduro wrapper and Connecticut
broadleaf binder for a bold and decadent experience with hints of

before creating Foundation. The tribute to Nicaraguan poet Rubén
Darío, Metapa, is produced by AJ Fernandez and named after the
