Foundation Aksum

The Foundation Aksum Maduros was once known as the Metapa, but a copyright issue yielded a branding change that fits the cigar even more perfectly if that were possible. Aksum was named for the resting place of the Ark of the Covenant, evoking a very mysterious and biblical feel for the smoker preparing to unwrap one of these 6 x 52 Toro ring size. Filled with premium Nicaraguan tobacco and wrapped in Ecuadorian Sumatra, the medium-full bodied cigar has a nutty, leathery and spicy profile that holds its own against some of the other heavy hitters in Foundation’s lineup, such as the award-winning El Gueguense.
