Foundation Aksum Maduro

According to legend, the Ark of the Covenant was laid to rest in the Aksumite Kingdom, which is part of an area now known as Ethiopia. The Ark was brought to the kingdom by Menelik the First. The Foundation Aksum Cigar was created to honor the Aksumite Kingdom. The cigar’s box and band features an image of Ras Makonnen who is considered one of Ethiopia’s greatest leaders. The Aksum Maduro cigar features a dark Ecuadorian Sumatra-seed maduro wrapper draped over a USA Connecticut Broadleaf binder, and filler leaves from Esteli and Jalapa, which are two of Nicaragua’s top tobacco growing regions. This carefully selected three-nation blend offers a medium to full strength smoking indulgence with a bounty of flavorful notes. The cigars are handmade at AJ Fernandez’s Tabacalera Fernandez factory in Nicaragua.
