Foundation The Tabernacle Havana Seed CT #142 David by Foundation Cigar Company is a rich, powerful, and luxurious cigar that showcases Nicholas Melillo’s deep connection to Connecticut’s tobacco heritage. Handcrafted with meticulous care at Tabacalera A.J. Fernandez in Estelí, Nicaragua, this cigar highlights the unique flavor and character of the Havana Seed CT #142 wrapper—one of the most distinctive leaves grown in the Connecticut River Valley.

This 5 x 54 Perfecto (David) features a dark, oily Connecticut Havana Seed #142 wrapper that has been carefully fermented for three years to bring out its natural oils and complexity. Beneath it lies a Mexican San Andrés binder and a core of aged Nicaraguan long-fillers from Estelí, Jalapa, and Condega. The result is a medium-to-full-bodied cigar bursting with flavor, depth, and balance.

The smoke opens with bold notes of espresso, dark cocoa, and cedar, followed by layers of black pepper, molasses, and sweet earth. As it develops, hints of dried fruit, cream, and spice emerge, leading to a long, smooth finish with a refined, leathery sweetness.
