Crafted as a 52 x 171 mm (6 3/4”) Perfecto, this annual fall release supports the Royal Ethiopian Trust’s philanthropic initiatives in Ethiopia. 100% of net profits from the sale of the Tabernacle Knight Commander will be donated to the Royal Ethiopian Trust to support educational scholarships, cultural restoration projects, and community development initiatives across Ethiopia.
The Tabernacle Knight Commander is a tribute to Nicholas Melillo’s title as Knight Commander of The Ethiopian Star of Honor, and it is limited to 700 boxes, priced at $40.00 per cigar or $480.00 per box.
Nicholas Melillo expressed his gratitude, stating, “Receiving the Ethiopian Star of Honor is one of the greatest privileges of my life. The Knight Commander cigar is my way of giving back, and I am honored that all net proceeds will support the Royal Ethiopian Trust, contributing to projects that make a tangible difference in the lives of Ethiopians.”
