Foundation Cigars Ships 2024 Annual Release Highclere Castle Senetjer

Foundation Cigar Company announces the return of the Highclere Castle Senetjer as an annual limited release, part of a partnership between Foundation Cigars and Highclere Castle. It was initially crafted to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the discovery of King Tutankhamun’s tomb.

The Senetjer is a 6 ¾ x 52 perfecto, featuring a 7th Priming Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, a Brazilian Mata Fina binder, and undisclosed fillers. Available in 12-count boxes, each cigar is priced at $33, with a box retail price of $396. The Senetjer begins shipping this week to select Foundation tobacconists.

The tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun was unearthed by archaeologist Howard Carter and the 5th Earl of Carnarvon, the great-grandfather of the current Earl and owner of Highclere Castle. The partnership pays homage to this historical event and brings the rich cultural history of Egypt into the luxury cigar market.

“King Tut’s tomb is one of the greatest archeological discoveries of all time,” Nicholas Melillo, owner and Master Blender of Foundation Cigars, said in a press release. “Due to the exceptional demand for this unique blend, we’ve decided to release 700 boxes every November in honor of this historic moment.”
