This exclusive perfecto, crafted with a blend of the finest tobaccos and inspired by an esteemed title awarded to Foundation Cigar Co. founder Nicholas Melillo, offers a smoking experience that goes beyond the ordinary.
A Blend of Exceptional Heritage
The Knight Commander is a 6 3/4 x 52 perfecto that follows the acclaimed blend of The Tabernacle releases. Enveloped in a rich Connecticut broadleaf wrapper and supported by a Mexican San Andrés binder, the cigar boasts a complex mix of filler tobaccos from Honduras and Nicaragua. This blend has been meticulously aged in cedar for an additional 15 months post-rolling, enhancing the depth and smoothness of its flavor profile.
Inspired by an Honorary Title
The name Knight Commander is a nod to the prestigious Ethiopian Star of Honor, an order of Knighthood, awarded to Nicholas Melillo. This title reflects recognition for outstanding service and is a testament to Melillo’s commitment to excellence in all his endeavors. The Tabernacle Knight Commander is his homage to this significant honor, embodying the same spirit of distinction and quality.

Honestly I was pretty disappointed by this. At times the flavor became something special but the majority of the experience was lots of pepper and strength, oak, and not a whole lot more. I was hoping for some of that beautiful sweetness I get from the Tabernacle but it was scarce. The construction was ok, it burned ok other than one touch up and the draw was a little too loose, almost under packed. I would overlook that and not nit pick on most cigars but thats not acceptable in a 40 dollar stick. Maybe the loose draw led to the flavors not connecting, I’m sure thats the case, but for this kind of money I wont be trying it again unless it’s a gift.

This is a good cigar. No denying that. The price point is likely a turn off for most. I give 4 stars because of the price and the need for touch ups. I’ve smoked a couple boxes of these and touch ups are just to be expected. The flavors make up for that because they are bold and long lasting. I do think a cigar at a $40 MSRP should require less work from me as I smoke it but that’s my only gripe. The draw is great.

I wanted this cigar to be as great as the sentjer, but it came nowhere near close. I like most of nick’s blends and especially the tabernacle, but this cigar was mostly like chewing on a slab of oak with some black pepper sprinkled on top. Construction was good, mine had a draw on the tighter side which I prefer over wide open. I’m going to see how time does to this cigar, but I’ll be hard pressed to buy any more after what I purchased due to the price and overall experience

I’m a HUGE fan of Foundation Cigars cigars and Nick Melillo. He’s doing some amazing things with tobacco and I’m always up for trying the latest release. The Highclere Castle Senetjer was one of the best smokes I’ve enjoyed in the last 5 years. So, when the Tabernacle Knight Commander was shown at last year’s PCA, I immediately put my call into Oxford Cigar Co. to ensure they would be getting some in. I was a little surprised by the price point being considerably MORE expensive than the $30+ Senetjer. This seems to be the way of the LE (Limited Edition) cigars these days… So, since my favorite Foundation core line is the Tabernacle, I put the order in with high-expectations. The story alone is so intriguing and learning that the profits are being sent to support charity work in Ethiopia helps to offset the $40/cigar cost… the award of the ‘Star of Honor’ is a well deserved testament to the good things that Nick is doing.
So when the cigars arrived, the unboxing/opening was like an event. The heavy latch to the elegant flat-black painted box and the two trays of 6 beautiful long dark perfectos (6 3/4 x 52) with attractive red, green and gold bands featuring the ‘Star of Honor’ in the center of the band. Upon lighting up there were familiar flavors found in the other Tabernacle cigars, but as it burned a bit there was much more cedar tones that lingered on the palate. I was expecting a bit more from this one since the Senetjer was so very different from the other Highclere Castle cigars. There were some pepper notes and heavy on the leather tones, nothing extraordinary. As it smoked it burned a little uneven requiring some touchups in the middle third. The couple i have smoked so far seemed a bit underfilled and burned hot. I will comment back once I smoke a couple more to see if that was isolated. I can see that a few other smokers have had the opposite and experienced a tight draw with this cigar. I did enjoy smoking this one, but not sure I’d seek out another box. Definitely give it a try if you’re a fan of Foundation, but I’d suggest waiting on a sale to give it a shot.
