My brother gave this to me yesterday. I clipped just the tip of the cap and the rest of it came off in my lips. The wrapper is very delicate and cracks fairly easy. Almost no resistance in the draw, this may burn hot. Initial taste isn't bad at 1/4" in, just not as good as expected by the shade of the wrapper. I probably wouldn't buy but would smoke again. Let's just see if I get to keep all of my fingers.

A Foundation Menelik.....The things I learn from smoking cigars.
“Like his Tabernacle cigar, Melillo was inspired by ancient history when naming the Menelik cigar. The first emperor of Ethiopia, Menelik I established the first Solomonic dynasty and is widely believed to be the son of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba.
“He’s credited with bringing the Ark of the Covenant to Ethiopia and his name in Arabic translates to “Son of the Wise Man.” This ties in nicely with Melillo’s popular El Güegüense brand, which loosely translates to “the wise man,” and his Tabernacle brand, which shows a portrait of Haile Selassie, the 225th emperor of Ethiopia.

A lot of people do not realize how deeply Christian roots run in Ethiopia.
If it don’t bother me, it don’t bother me. Just leave me alone.
