Description
This medium to full-strength cigar offers notes of sweetness, spice, and earth underscored by a rich creaminess. The cigar’s light-tan Ecuadorian Sumatra-seed wrapper covers a USA Connecticut Broadleaf binder, and filler leaves from Esteli and Jalapa, which are two of Nicaragua’s top-tobacco producing regions. The Aksum line is the first time Foundation Cigars has developed a blend using Ecuadorian Sumatra tobacco. The cigars are handmade at AJ Fernandez’s factory in Nicaragua.

Aromatic and floral; naturally sweet and nutty over cocoa, earth and leather. Engaging spice with little to no pepper. Rich, complex and extremely flavorful.

Anything from Foundation is a banger, price is spot on for quality.
Marcin P. · 03/08/2025 - 4.40
Very solid smoke. Nice woodiness with some spice. The broadleaf binder really hits the spot with this blend. Will buy again.
Andrew G. · 06/26/2024 - 4.60
Great construction but expected more flavour wise. Will try the Maduro
Francis L. · 05/11/2024 - 3.60
Had both the claro and maduro and the claro is very underwhelming and just tastes like espresso and earth no sweetness like the maduro has
