A full-bodied smoke that offers bold dark chocolatey, spicy, earthy, and leathery notes. Its ebony, oily USA Connecticut Shade maduro wrapper cloaks a Mexican San Andres binder and filler leaves from Esteli and Jalapa, which are two of Nicaragua’s top-tobacco producing regions. Once rolled, the cigars are aged for 15 months. This allows the flavor and aroma of this three-nation blend to meld and develop its uniquely satisfying flavor profile. The cigars are handmade at the Tabacalera AJ Fernandez Cigars de Nicaragua S.A. The Knight Commander cigar is named after Foundation Cigars founder Nicholas Melillo was awarded the title of Knight Commander of The Ethiopian Star of Honor for his service to the people and country of Ethiopia.
