Aksum Cigars

Aksum Cigars by Foundation Cigar Company are a tribute to the ancient Kingdom of Aksum in Ethiopia, a civilization rich with culture and mystery—believed by some to be the final resting place of the Ark of the Covenant. Created by renowned blender Nicholas Melillo, this line blends storytelling, heritage, and premium craftsmanship into one unique smoking experience. Handcrafted in Nicaragua at AJ Fernandez’s factory, Aksum cigars come in two wrapper varieties: a dark, flavorful Ecuadorian Sumatra Maduro, and a lighter Claro version using the same tobacco leaf in a different fermentation style. Both blends feature a Connecticut Broadleaf binder and Nicaraguan fillers from Estelí and Jalapa. Aksum cigars are medium to full-bodied and have earned critical acclaim for their complexity and depth. With its blend of historical reverence and top-tier tobacco, Aksum offers a rich, memorable smoke for those who enjoy cigars with a story.

Review Stars

A sanctuary in a sea of craziness. A place where you can lounge and taste. A place where you can be educated. A place to relax. A place to rub elbows with gentlemen today refinement and class. And women, but hey, not really too many women.

A place to share food and stories. A place where they'll treat you like one of them as soon as you arrive.

Indoor and outdoor seating. Beautiful inside and out.

Comfortable lounge furniture. You can bring your laptop and conduct business here.

I cannot say enough. This is a place that you should try out.
