Nick Melillo’s Knight Commander takes the Tabernacle blend into a dressier lane, handmade at AJ Fernandez in Nicaragua with a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper, Mexican San Andrés binder, Honduran and Nicaraguan fillers, and extra cedar aging after rolling. Medium-full in strength, it brings earth, black pepper, leather, dark roast coffee, and a woody sweetness that feels stately, slow-burning, and built for seasoned palates.
