Aksum Claro Corona Gorda Cigars by Foundation Cigar Company feature a Sumatra Ecuador wrapper, known for its rich flavor profile. This is paired with a Connecticut Broadleaf binder, or capote, which adds a layer of depth and sweetness. The filler, or tripa, consists of tobacco from the Estelí and Jalapa regions of Nicaragua, areas renowned for producing some of the finest tobacco in the world. Aksum Corona Gorda Cigars are a tribute to an ancient kingdom and an incredible addition to any smoker's humidor.

Aksum Claro Corona Gorda cigars pay homage to the history of the Aksumite Kingdom, an ancient civilization located in present-day Ethiopia. This kingdom is known for being the purported resting place of the Ark of the Covenant, which local lore claims was brought to Aksum by Menelik the First, the son of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. Today, the legacy of the Ark continues, with one priest guarding it day and night for his entire life. Shop for a box now!
