The Cigar: Foundation Cigar Co. The Tabernacle Havana Seed CT No. 142 Toro
The Specs:
Wrapper: Connecticut (Havana Seed CT #142)
Binder: Mexican
Filler: Hondurus and Nicaragua
Country of Origin: Nicaragua
Strength: Medium-Full
Size: 6" x 52
Due Date: October 25, 2020
The Hype: As the name of this cigar would suggest, the wrapper is Havana Seed CT #142, a variation of a Cuban-seed tobacco grown in Connecticut. Much of the rest of the line is shared with the original Tabernacle: the same filler components and the same four sizes. That means a Mexican San Andrés binder over a blend of Honduran and Nicaraguan fillers, though Nicholas Melillo has said there is less Honduran tobacco than the original line.

Note: A reviewer who posts their review late will receive neutral feedback. A reviewer who does not post at all will receive negative feedback. There are always exceptions to the rule and a reasonable excuse for tardiness or a no show will be respected and thus not counted against the reviewer. Our sponsoring members and our administrators make the choice of who is to participate in any particular Geek Critique and can be better informed of their choices with this initiative in place.
Thanks again to Byron for providing the cigar. And thank you to the reviewers.
