Foundation Cigar Company announces the 2025 Tabernacle Knight Commander.
The Knight Commander vitola was first introduced following Foundation founder Nicholas Melilloโs investiture in 2022 as a Knight Commander of the Ethiopian Star of Honor, an Imperial Order established in 1889 by Emperor Menelik II. The order recognizes contributions made to the Ethiopian people, making it one of the most meaningful civilian honors in Ethiopian tradition.
โThe day I received the Knight Commander distinction remains one of the great honors of my life,โ Melillo said in a press release.โEthiopia has given so much to the worldโfrom its ancient Christian heritage to its cultural brillianceโand giving back in a tangible way is part of my responsibility and commitment. โ
The Knight Commander features a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper.
