For Foundation Cigars Founder and Master Blender, Nick Melillo, the “broadleaf is more than tobacco for me. It’s something sacred.” The Tabernacle Havana Seed CT is a true testament of Melillo’s passion for the broadleaf. The Havana Seed CT #142 wrapper was developed by Melillo and top farmers from the Connecticut River Valley. The tobacco leaves from the Havana Seed CT #142 take three years to ferment. This long fermentation process produces a medium- to full-bodied smoke with hints of cedar, spice, rich earthiness and natural sweetness. Handmade in Nicaragua by the Tabacalera Fernandez factory, the Tabernacle Havana Seed CT wrapper surrounds a binder made of tobacco from San Andrés, Mexico, which holds a delightful blend of tobacco from Estelí and Jalapa, Nicaragua. Turn your humidor into a shrine by adding the Tabernacle Havana Seed CT.
Cigar Origin
Nicaragua
Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
Despite many decades of war and revolution in this Central American country, the cigar industry has thrived due to the hard work and tenacity of Cuban exiles to the land such as Plasencia, Padron, Oliva, Ortez, and others. Tobacco has been a force of social stability, and the country is now one of the principal exporters of premium cigars in the world.
