Aksum Maduro Cigars by Foundation Cigar Company pay homage to the history of the Aksumite Kingdom, an ancient civilization located in present-day Ethiopia. This kingdom is legendary and known for being the resting place of the Ark of the Covenant, which local lore claims was brought to Aksum by Menelik the First, the son of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. Today, the legacy of the Ark continues, with one priest guarding it day and night for his entire life. Drawing inspiration from this historic and mystical kingdom, Aksum Cigars represent a blend of rich flavors and artisanal expertise.
The Aksum Cigars feature a Maduro Sumatra Ecuador wrapper, or capa, known for its rich flavor profile. This is paired with a Connecticut Broadleaf binder, or capote, which adds a layer of depth and sweetness to the blend. The filler, or tripa, consists of tobaccos from the Estelí and Jalapa regions of Nicaragua, areas renowned for producing some of the finest tobacco in the world. Aksum Cigars are not just a tribute to an ancient kingdom but a celebration of the artistry and dedication that go into creating a truly exceptional cigar. Buy now!
