About Foundry Cigars

Foundry Cigars is a unique and innovative cigar brand that emerged from the creative mind of Michael Giannini, a well-respected figure in the premium cigar industry. Launched in 2012 as a subsidiary of General Cigar Company, Foundry quickly gained a reputation for its avant-garde approach to blending, branding, and packaging.

Giannini, known for his experimental mindset and passion for pushing the boundaries of traditional cigar making, sought to create a line that would stand out in an industry often steeped in tradition. Foundry Cigars became a playground for innovation, incorporating rare and exotic tobaccos, unusual blending techniques, and artistic packaging inspired by themes such as steampunk, alchemy, and historical events.

One of its most notable releases was the original Foundry cigar, which featured an enigmatic blend of undisclosed tobaccos and a distinctive metal gear attached to the band, reinforcing its steampunk aesthetic. Other creative lines, such as the Time Flies, Chillin’ Moose, and the Compounds, Elements & Musings series, showcased Giannini’s penchant for storytelling and unconventional cigar experiences.

Under his leadership, Foundry challenged smokers to embrace the unknown, enjoy the artistry of cigars, and appreciate the craftsmanship behind each blend. Giannini’s influence in the industry extends beyond Foundry, as he has held prominent roles in several major cigar companies, consistently bringing a fresh perspective and creative energy to the brands he oversees. His ability to merge innovation with the time-honoured traditions of cigar making has made him one of the most intriguing personalities in the business.

Although Foundry Cigars eventually faded as a standalone brand, its impact on boutique cigar culture remains, and Michael Giannini’s legacy as a visionary in the industry continues to inspire cigar enthusiasts and manufacturers alike.
