Aksum Claro Doble Corona

Foundation Cigar Company, a trailblazer in the premium cigar industry, proudly presents AKSUM, a brand inspired by the resting place of the Ark of the Covenant. Formerly known as METAPA, this rebranded line continues to deliver the same exceptional blend that has captivated cigar enthusiasts.

Named after the ancient city of AKSUM, a place steeped in history and legend, this brand embodies the essence of Foundation Cigar Company’s commitment to tradition and innovation. The decision to rebrand reflects a deeper connection to the brand’s inspiration—the Ark of the Covenant—and its symbolic journey.

The blend that aficionados have come to appreciate remains unchanged, offering a harmonious fusion of flavors that showcases the expertise of Foundation Cigar Company’s master blender, Nicholas Melillo. The commitment to quality and craftsmanship that Metapa was known for now carries the symbolic weight of AKSUM.

Nicholas Melillo, Founder of Foundation Cigars, expressed his excitement about the rebranding: “AKSUM represents a significant chapter in our journey, paying homage to the sacred history associated with the Ark of the Covenant. The blend remains the same as Metapa & testament to our unwavering dedication to providing a unique and memorable smoking experience.”

The image on the box and band of AKSUM is that of Haile Selassie’s Father, Ras Makonnen, who was once governor of Aksum. He is regarded as one of the great leaders of Abyssinia and confidant to Emperor Menelik II.

The CT Broadleaf binder adds a bit of sweetness, Nicaragua filler the body and strength, and the wrapper is the icing on the cake.
