The Upsetters

The Upsetters is Foundation’s deliberate experiment: Jamaican cow‑tongue tobacco fused with Nicaraguan construction and a measured Caribbean herbal finishing technique. The infusion leaves a honeyed, menthol‑like herbal sweetness on the cap and cold draw while the underlying tobacco brings cedar, light citrus and a trailing black‑pepper warmth that builds into the second half. Wrapper choice shifts the surface character—Sumatra for a spongier topnote, Broadleaf for darker sweetness, Candela for green freshness—but the line’s intent is consistent: unconventional topnotes riding a conventional backbone, presented with clean roll and steady burn despite the infusion.
