The Senetjer cigar from Highclere Castle is a tribute to the
discovery of King Tutankhamun’s tomb, funded by Lord Carnarvon
who lived at the castle. Led by Archaeologist Howard Carter, the
expedition uncovered the ancient Egyptian site a century ago.
This special cigar boasts an irresistible Ecuadorian Habano
Colorado wrapper, carefully wrapped around a binder made of
Brazilian Mata Fina and filler tobaccos from undisclosed origins.
The filler tobaccos have been aged for three years before being
expertly rolled into cigars. They are then placed in a
collectible box, replicating one found in the King’s tomb with
its own set of hieroglyphics that translate to "Highclere
Castle". The name "Senetjer" comes from the ancient Egyptian term
for incense or "of the gods" and these cigars are meticulously
handmade at AJ Fernandez's Tabacalera Fernandez factory in
Nicaragua.
