Aksum Claro

Aksum Claro cigars hail from Estelí, Nicaragua, where they’re blended and produced by AJ Fernandez for Foundation Cigars brand founder Nick Melillo. Aksum Claro is handmade in a trio of classic sizes blended from a caramel-brown Ecuador Sumatra wrapper leaf, a Connecticut Broadleaf binder, and Nicaraguan long-fillers grown in Jalapa and Estelí. Intense spices precede tasting notes of earth and leather before a balanced profile of oak and fresh bread emerges with hints of dark chocolate and dried fruit. Melillo, a biblical scholar, named Aksum cigars for the Kingdom of Aksum that spanned the Horn of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula during Classical Antiquity and is the resting place of the Ark of the Covenant, according to legend.
