Foundation Aksum Maduro

Nick Melillo and Foundation Cigars raise the bar once again with Aksum, the newest creation inspired by the legend of the Ark of the Covenant. Rolled by AJ Fernandez at Tabacalera Fernandez, this medium to full-bodied masterpiece showcases an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper over a Connecticut Broadleaf binder and select long-fillers from Estelí and Jalapa. The result is a rich, complex profile layered with sweetness, wood, and balanced spice—crafted with the same world-class precision that’s earned Foundation multiple 90+ ratings and Cigar of the Year accolades.
