Foundation Aksum

The Aksum is a delightful rebrand for Foundation, taking the place of what was once the highly rated Metapa. A copyright issue which caused the name change has had no impact on the incredible flavors of this 5x50 Robusto, which features an Ecuadorian Sumatra Wrapper, Connecticut broadleaf binder and filler from Nicaragua. Medium-full bodied in strength, smokers will note a tasting profile of leathery, peppery and nutty notes that stand up well to some of Foundation’s other mega-hit cigars, like El Gueguense and The Wise Man. Now named after the resting place of the Ark of the Covenant, the regal branding of this cigar makes it an ideal showpiece, along with a mainstay in your humidor. Shop JR Cigar now and find these in boxes of 10 but act fast—Foundation rarely lasts long on store shelves.
