The Tabernacle epitomizes true perfection in premium cigars. Even the meaning of the name Tabernacle – the Tabernacle sanctuary from the Hebrew scriptures, where the Ark was kept before the construction of the Jerusalem Temple (King Solomon’s Temple), carries a sacred flavor. Tabernacle Havana Seed #142 first appeared at IPCPR 2018 as a continuation of The Tabernacle line. The wrapper is Connecticut Havana Seed #142, grown in the USA. It is extremely rare and unlike any other tobacco in the world. The fermentation process takes at least 3 years, in order to maximally preserve and develop the aromas of the natural oils in the tobacco. The binder tobacco is Mexican San Andrés, the filler is tobaccos from Estelí, Jalapa and Jamastran, Nicaragua. The box features the likeness of Haile Selassie, the 225th king of Abyssinia, present-day Ethiopia, a descendant of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. A unique blend, medium to strong profile and predominant notes of cedar, black coffee, spices and natural spicy sweetness.
Rated 90 points by Cigar Aficionado for 2019.
