Foundation Aksum

The Foundation Aksum Robusto Maduro 5 × 50 is named for the presumed resting place of the Ark of the Covenant. Not only regal and revered, but this naming convention also rouses an air of mystery and intrigue. With branding like this, the cigar has to be good. Thankfully, founder Nicholas Melillo and master cigar craftsman AJ Fernandez delivered with this combination of Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper, Connecticut broadleaf binder and filler from Nicaragua. Formerly known as Metapa, the Aksum has notes of pepperiness, sweetness and a cedar wood flavor that are expertly folded into this cigar. Considering the decades of innovation and experience that have been poured into its conception, it is available at a more than reasonable price point.
