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.”
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.
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.
