I got this one as part of my Foundation Cigars, and it has been one of my prefers so far. Very well built, great aroma and taste, for sure will repeat with this one.

I’m starting to really enjoy Foundation. I first tried the Olmec and loved it and now the Menelik, which was equally amazing. Can’t wait to keep exploring their lines.

Love this blend. I’ve had the OG version and liked that very much. Had to try the newer toro. This was an absolutely delicious stick. Cocoa notes with leather and some earthiness. To me this wasn’t as strong as the smaller vitola. Really nice construction on this. I usually enjoy most of what foundation does. This was definitely a winner for me.

Very punchy, spicy little cigar. Luckily there is some sweeter coca notes to balance it. Strength is an 8 out of ten, full flavor. The smoke output was awesome, but I did need to touch it up a handful of times.

This cigar has beautiful tasting notes of coco powder, earth and leather. It is very similar to Dunbarton Sin Compromiso blend except the Menelik has less coco notes and more of an earthy finish n the draw.
