What is this product?
The Foundation Highclere Castle Senetjer is a premium, limited-edition cigar crafted by the Foundation Cigar Company. It celebrates the centennial anniversary of Howard Carter and George Herbert, the 5th Earl of Carnarvon’s excavation of Tutankhamun’s tomb in Egypt. This cigar features an Ecuadorian Habano 7th priming wrapper, a Brazilian Mata Fina binder, and a meticulously aged undisclosed filler blend. It is presented in a 6 ¾ × 52 perfecto format and comes in a 12-count box designed to resemble an ancient Egyptian box, complete with hieroglyphic translations of “Highclere Castle.”
Why this product?
This cigar transcends mere smoking; it serves as a statement piece. With its ties to heritage, archaeology, and luxury, the Senetjer combines premium tobaccos to create a complex and nuanced experience. Reviewers have highlighted flavor transitions from dark chocolate, coffee, and cedar in the initial third to salted peanuts and raspberry sweetness in the final third. The packaging also boasts collector appeal, having received top accolades for design in 2022. For enthusiasts who value exceptional cigar craftsmanship and compelling storytelling, this cigar is a remarkable choice. Its strength is rated as medium to medium-full, with a rich and evolving flavor profile that allows for a dynamic smoking experience.
Who can buy this product?
This product is well-suited for seasoned cigar aficionados, collectors of limited-edition cigars, and anyone who appreciates luxury craftsmanship in the cigar realm. If you value narrative, presentation, and complexity, this cigar will resonate with you. Casual smokers seeking an everyday cigar at a more affordable price may find this option beyond their typical budget, given its limited release and premium pricing (approximately US $33 per stick or US $396 for a 12-count box). It is more inclined toward special occasions or collectible use. Due to its limited availability, securing a box may require early purchase or persistence. Note: You must be of legal smoking age in your jurisdiction to purchase.

What Makes This Cigar Special?
Storage and Handling
Ideal Humidity Range
Store your cigars between 65% and 70% relative humidity for optimal flavor, burn consistency, and structure. This range prevents cracking, swelling, and uneven combustion.
Temperature Matters
Keep cigars between 65°F and 70°F (18°C–21°C). Excess heat can damage oils and increase the risk of tobacco beetles, while cold environments can affect burn performance.
Stability Over Perfection
Consistency is more important than hitting an exact number. Sudden humidity swings can damage wrappers and affect draw. A stable environment protects your investment.
Recommended: 2-Way Humidity Control
For effortless maintenance, we recommend Boveda 2-Way Humidity Packs (65% or 69%) to maintain consistent humidity with no refilling, no monitoring stress, and no over-humidifying.
