The Tabernacle Broadleaf Toro by Foundation Cigar Company is a bold, luxurious, and full-bodied cigar that showcases the richness and depth of premium Connecticut Broadleaf tobacco. Created by Nicholas Melillo, this blend honors both his Connecticut heritage and his reverence for the ancient Ethiopian Ark of the Covenant—the inspiration behind The Tabernacle name.
Handcrafted at Tabacalera A.J. Fernandez in Estelí, Nicaragua, this 6 x 52 Toro features a dark, oily Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper, a Mexican San Andrés binder, and a core of aged Nicaraguan fillers from Estelí and Jalapa. The tobaccos are extensively aged and perfectly balanced to deliver a full-bodied experience that is both robust and refined.
The flavor profile opens with rich notes of espresso, dark chocolate, and earth, followed by layers of oak, black pepper, and molasses. As it develops, hints of leather, caramel, and sweet spice emerge, culminating in a smooth, lingering finish with natural sweetness and creamy undertones.
