The Tabernacle Knight Commander by Foundation Cigar Company is the pinnacle of artistry, heritage, and strength—crafted as a tribute to the historic honor bestowed upon blender Nick Melillo by the Ethiopian Crown Council. This limited-edition release features a beautifully box-pressed format, wrapped in an oily, perfectly fermented Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro, a signature component across the Tabernacle cigar series, revered for its richness and depth. Beneath the surface lies a blend of aged Nicaraguan long-fillers from Estelí and Jalapa, offering full-bodied power layered with exceptional nuance.
Each draw reveals a regal tapestry of flavor: espresso, dark cocoa, molasses, black cherry, charred cedar, antique leather, and baking spice, with a slow burn that evolves into a long, structured finish. The Knight Commander is handcrafted in small batches, with each cigar individually numbered and presented in a collector-worthy box that reflects the historical prestige behind its creation. This blend exemplifies Foundation’s reputation for deeply spiritual storytelling and world-class craftsmanship—making it a natural companion to other iconic releases like the Tabernacle Havana Seed No. 142, The Wise Man Maduro, and Olmec Maduro.
Available now at The Tobacconist of Greenwich, the Knight Commander belongs in the humidor of collectors who demand rarity, substance, and a direct connection to one of the most honored legacies in modern cigar making. For those exploring the best Connecticut Broadleaf cigars, limited edition cigars, or simply the boldest blends from Foundation Cigar Company, this release sets a new standard of exclusivity.
