The last of the limited run. Last year, at PCA 2022, Foundation Cigars announced a special project with the family of Highclere Castle, using a 7th priming of Habano leaf. The cigar was to commemorate the 100th anniversary of discovering King Tutankhamun’s tomb. Foundation Cigars releases the Highclere Senetjer Figurado. The Senetjer boasts a 7th […]

The T. Habano, or perhaps the Spice Bomb. Maybe not completely, but this stick definitely has some ‘zing’ to it. A while back, I posted a blog about the return of a cigar I absolutely loved, the Caldwell, Booth, and AJ collaboration, ‘The T Maduro.’ Along with the Maduro inflection, several years ago, Caldwell released […]
