The Tabernacle is produced by Foundation Cigar Company at AJ Fernandez’s factory in Estelí, Nicaragua. It features a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper, a Mexican San Andrés binder, and fillers from Nicaragua and Honduras. The blend was created by Nicholas Melillo to showcase his connection to Connecticut tobacco and his experience with dark, rich leaf varietals. The name “Tabernacle” refers to the biblical resting place of the Ark of the Covenant, a theme that is consistent across the Foundation’s branding.
