Foundation Aksum

Unwrapping a box of 10 Foundation Aksum in the 7 × 54 Double Corona ring size is an experience unlike any other. A box top featuring the picture of Ras Makonnen, the former governor of Aksum and one of the great leaders of his time, gives way to beautifully branded and flawlessly constructed medium-full bodied smokes. Featuring an Ecuadorian Sumatra Wrapper, Connecticut broadleaf binder and filler from Nicaragua, this nutty, leathery and peppery smoke lives up to its name, a reference to the resting place of the Ark of the Covenant. Foundation guru Nicholas Melillo is a masterful storyteller with his blends, and this is undoubtedly his next great hit. Shop JR Cigar today and take home one of these boxes before they’re all sold out. Foundation is the talk of the cigar industry—so act fast!
