Foundation Cigar Co.

The cigar debuted as a limited edition in 2022 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the discovery of King Tutankhman’s tomb by archaeologists Howard Carter and George Herbert. The name Senetjer was taken from the ancient Egyptian word for incense, which has been translated as “of the gods” and “that which makes holy.”

The Knight Commander is back for its sophomore release. Like last year, it is limited to 700 boxes and has an MSRP of $40 per cigar.

This is the second release for the Menelik Corona Gorda. The first was in 2022 as an exclusive for The Humidour Cigar Shoppe in Cockeysville, Md.

Originally named El Güegüense—which means The Wise Man in Spanish—the name of this brand is now The Wise Man Corojo. Beyond the name change, The Wise Man brand is now being made at My Father Cigars S.A.

The two new The Wise Man blends are made by My Father Cigars S.A. They should be on shelves by the end of this week.

The original El Güegüense and The Wise Man Maduro blends have been discontinued. In their places are new Wise Man Corojo and Wise Man Maduro lines being produced by My Father.

The new name reflects a deeper connection to the brand’s inspiration—the Ark of the Covenant—and its symbolic journey

The Charter Oak Pegnataro is the latest in a long line of cigars that pair an Ecuadorian Connecticut-seed wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan fillers.

An honor bestowed upon Nicholas Melillo became the inspiration for a limited production vitola in The Tabernacle line that gets more than a year of aging before its release.

The blend was created to honor the noted Nicaraguan poet Rubén Darío.

The line is heading back to store shelves, though with just 500 boxes produced for the 2023 release.
