Aksum Maduro

Aksum Maduro cigars are produced by AJ Fernandez in Estelí, Nicaragua, for Foundation Cigars brand founder Nick Melillo, and they’re handmade in a series of popular sizes. Aksum Maduro features a dark and succulent Ecuador Sumatra wrapper, a Connecticut Broadleaf binder, and Nicaraguan long-fillers from Jalapa and Estelí. Tasting notes of cedar, leather, black pepper, and cocoa mingle with hints of red pepper and molasses in the finish. Melillo, a biblical scholar, named Aksum cigars for the Kingdom of Aksum, the ancient empire where the Ark of the Covenant is located, according to legend. Add this medium to full-bodied profile to your humidor when you’re craving a hearty Nicaraguan Maduro blended by one of today’s top cigarmakers.
