The Tabernacle Knight Commander draws inspiration from a prestigious honor bestowed upon Nicholas Melillo, owner of Foundation Cigar Company, by the Ethiopian Crown Council. Melillo was deeply humbled to receive the title of Knight Commander of the Ethiopian Star of Honor, an esteemed order of knighthood originally established by Emperor Menelik II in 1889. This order was granted to both foreign and domestic civilian and military officials for their dedicated service to Ethiopia. With great reverence, The Tabernacle Knight Commander pays tribute to this noble accolade, embodying the values of dedication and commitment to Ethiopia’s rich cultural legacy.

Nicholas Melillo expressed his deep appreciation for the honor, stating:
“Receiving the Ethiopian Star of Honor is an extraordinary privilege and the honor of a lifetime. The Knight Commander vitola is my tribute to this esteemed recognition, and I am proud that all proceeds will directly contribute to charitable efforts, making a meaningful impact in the lives of Ethiopians.”

What truly distinguishes The Tabernacle Knight Commander is its mission-driven purpose. Foundation Cigar Company has committed 100% of all net wholesale proceeds from this exceptional cigar to support The Royal Ethiopian Trust. Through this initiative, the brand is dedicated to funding meaningful philanthropic endeavors, including education and entrepreneurship programs, as well as efforts to preserve and restore Ethiopia’s most significant historical artifacts. This commitment ensures that each cigar sold contributes directly to sustaining Ethiopia’s rich heritage and empowering future generations.
