THE TABERNACLE HAVANA SEED CT NO. 142

Foundation Tabernacle Havana Seed CT No. 142 cigars are a premium offering from Foundation Cigar Company, created by founder Nick Melillo and handcrafted at the AJ Fernandez factory in Estelí, Nicaragua. This blend was developed as a companion to the original Tabernacle cigar, replacing the Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper with a rare Havana Seed CT No. 142 wrapper. The hybrid wrapper, grown in Connecticut’s historic Connecticut River Valley, combines Cuban-seed heritage with Connecticut-grown tobacco, producing a unique balance of sweetness, spice, and complexity.

Beneath the wrapper is a Mexican San Andrés binder surrounding aged Nicaraguan and Honduran long-fillers. The result is a medium to medium-full-bodied smoking experience featuring notes of dark cocoa, roasted nuts, cinnamon, black pepper, cedar, earth, and subtle natural sweetness. The cigar is known for its excellent construction, even burn, and rich aroma, making it suitable for both experienced enthusiasts and smokers looking to explore more complex blends.

Available in several popular sizes, including Robusto, Toro, Lancero, and Double Corona, the Tabernacle Havana Seed CT No. 142 has earned praise for its refined flavor profile and consistent performance. It showcases Nick Melillo’s dedication to premium tobacco, traditional craftsmanship, and innovative blending while honoring Connecticut’s long-standing cigar-growing heritage.
