Foundation Highclere Castle Senetjer is one of the most historically rich cigars ever created by Nick Melillo and Foundation Cigar Company. Developed in partnership with Highclere Castle and the 8th Earl of Carnarvon, Senetjer commemorates the 100th anniversary of the discovery of King Tutankhamun’s tomb, a moment that reshaped the world’s fascination with ancient Egypt. The name “Senetjer” itself is an ancient Egyptian word meaning “incense” or “that which makes holy”—a fitting title for a cigar crafted in reverence.
Wrapped in a rare and radiant Ecuadorian Habano Rosado wrapper, the Senetjer features a bold Nicaraguan binder and fillers, with some tobaccos aged for more than three years. This full-bodied blend delivers a rich and elegant flavor profile, including baking spice, cinnamon, dried fig, cedar, cacao, roasted nuts, and a floral-earthy finish that speaks to both luxury and ancient ritual. The ornate box design is modeled after an Egyptian artifact discovered within King Tut’s tomb, making this release as visually breathtaking as it is flavorful.
Now available in highly limited quantities at The Tobacconist of Greenwich, Highclere Castle Senetjer is a must-have for collectors of limited-edition cigars, lovers of historic storytelling, and aficionados seeking Foundation’s most elite releases. Ideal as a celebratory cigar or a luxury gift, it stands proudly alongside the Highclere Castle Edwardian, Victorian, and The Tabernacle Knight Commander.
