Smoke Inn Hanukkah Box Day 7

Smoke Inn Hanukkah Box Day 7 | The Blog

Today, we continue the reveal of the 2024 Smoke Inn Hanukkah Box with the cigar for day 7 of the Festival of Lights. Warning: spoiler alert.

Like Smoke Inn’s Advent Calendar, a different cigar will be revealed each day for the eight days of Hanukkah. Much like lighting a candle on the menorah for each night of Hanukkah, each “candle” box inside the large Hanukkah box will contain a cigar. The ninth candle of the menorah, known as the Shamash, is used to light the other candles on the menorah. Following that pattern, Smoke Inn’s Hanukkah box contains nine candle boxes – eight representing the eight nights of Hanukkah and one for the Shamash.

Notably, there is one big difference between the Smoke Inn Hanukkah Box and the Smoke Inn Advent Calendar. The Advent Calendar focuses on more commercially available cigars, while the Hanukkah Box focuses on rare cigars with limited production.

Today’s reveal is The Tabernacle Knight Commander by Foundation Cigar Company. This annual limited line is Foundation’s most premium offering to date. The inspiration behind The Tabernacle Knight Commander came from a prestigious honor the Ethiopian Crown Council bestowed upon Melillo, the title of Knight Commander of The Ethiopian Star of Honor. The Order was established by Emperor Menelik (who had a cigar in the Foundation portfolio that pays homage to him) in 1889 as an order of Knighthood of the Ethiopian Empire to foreign and domestic civilian and military officials and individuals for service to the country. Upon receiving this honor, Melillo pledged to work on Ethiopian philanthropic initiatives. Though it carries a $40.00 price point, Foundation has stated that all proceeds from the sale of The Tabernacle Knight Commander will go to charity.
