Foundation and Highclere Castle Cigars recently announced their King Tut special blend, which is an intriguing offering for cigar aficionados.

Here are some points that you should know about the King Tut special blend and other Foundation cigars.

An Overview of King Tut Special Blend

Take the time to appreciate all that the new blend of signature, premium cigars has to offer. It's a collaboration between the Foundation and Highclere Castle Cigars that commemorates the 100-year anniversary of the discovery of King Tutankhamun.

The cigar blend has a theme that tells the story of archeologists and explorers Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon discovering Tut's tomb, which had previously been buried for more than 3 millennia.

The cigar houses linked up out of a passion for all things Ancient Egypt, and look to give the cigar the qualities that remind them of the fascinating people from that civilization.

So, what characteristics should you know about the King Tut Special Blend?

The Size of the Cigar

This is a 6 3/4 x 52 cigar in the Perfecto shape. It's a well-rolled cigar that features an Ecuador Habano wrapper.

It features the craftsmanship that fans have come to expect from Foundation and Highclere Castle cigars.

The Unique Packaging

You'll really learn a lot about this cigar offering by taking a look at the packaging. The cigar houses put a lot of time, effort, and creativity into the presentation of the cigars, as it comes with a miniature black and gold tomb styled after King Tutankhamun's.

The Strength and Flavor

These cigars are full-bodied with medium flavor and lots of boldness. The cigar houses crafted it with Egyptian incense in mind. They focus on the thickness and fullness of the smoke, along with aromatic qualities.
