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.

Great smoke! I will definitely buy more of those! Foundation is always a hit!!
JENIFFER FELIX · Toro · Sat Oct 24
Both Aksum worths the buy. Robusto ones delivers more. But the toro has its values

Aksum Maduro was excellent. The chocolate note really stands out—dark and bittersweet, not sugary—layered with espresso, cedar, and a little chili-like spice. It shifts nicely as it goes, getting earthier and richer in the second half without ever getting harsh. Foundation keeps knocking it out of the park.
Eric Duczkowski · Corona Gorda · Mon Oct 05
Much better than the claro. Still not as good as its original name, Metapa. Supposed to be the same blend but it’s not. Still very good but not as good as it once was. Worthy of smoking again? Yes
