Foundation The Tabernacle Knight Commander

Foundation Cigar Co. has become a household name among cigar aficionados, known for its masterful blends and a collection of 90+ rated gems. At the helm is the visionary Nick Melillo — not only a revered blender, but also a true Knight. Bestowed the title of Knight Commander of The Ethiopian Star of Honor by the Honor the Ethiopian Crown Council, Melillo crafted something truly special to commemorate the occasion: The Tabernacle Knight Commander.

This cigar stands as a powerful homage to Ethiopian heritage and a commitment to philanthropy. In a rare and admirable move, Foundation pledged 100% of the proceeds to Ethiopian charities — supporting scholarships, restoring churches, and uplifting communities.

Crafted in a striking 6.75" x 52 perfecto size, The Tabernacle Knight Commander mirrors the original Tabernacle blend with a dark, oily Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper, a rich Mexican San Andrés binder, and bold Nicaraguan fillers from Estelí and Jalapa. Expect pronounced notes of leather and black pepper, deepened further by an extra 15 months of cedar aging — a touch that elevates this limited release to regal status.

With only a few hundred boxes produced annually, this is more than a cigar — it’s a celebration of legacy, craftsmanship, and honor. Claim your place among the few with The Tabernacle Knight Commander.
