The Tabernacle

This Tabernacle variant puts Connecticut Broadleaf center stage: the wrapper supplies immediate sweetness and a chewy texture while a San Andrés binder and multi‑region filler add backbone. Flavor drives toward cedar and black pepper early, with darker cocoa and earthy notes filling the mid and finish; the smoke texture is dense and mouth‑filling rather than airy. The blend favors weighty, dessert‑leaning moments without losing structural integrity—an approach that highlights Broadleaf’s natural sugars against a spicy, structured foundation.

These perfectos take Tabernacle’s Broadleaf aesthetic and tighten it into two compact, characterful figurados. The combination of a Broadleaf or Havana Seed cover over a San Andrés binder and a multi‑region filler produces thick, oily smoke with dominant notes of earth, cocoa and coffee, backed by a peppery backbone and mineral undertones. The perfecto shape concentrates flavors at the tapered ends, delivering a tighter prelight and a progressive release of pepper and earth as the cigar opens. Expect a focused, weighty Broadleaf experience—sometimes with flashes of anise or dark‑cherry sweetness—presented in small, collector‑friendly box productions.

This Tabernacle variant leans on a Connecticut Havana‑seed (#142) wrapper that’s been treated with long fermentation to amplify oil and sugar, producing a darker, toothier surface than typical Connecticut leaves. Underneath, a San Andrés binder and a multi‑region Nicaraguan/Honduran filler deliver cedar, warm baking spice and earth, while the wrapper contributes notable natural sweetness and an oily, dense texture. Smoke runs medium–full: cedar and toast in the midsections, cream and a lingering sweet finish, with pepper and toasted cedar on the retrohale. The line scales across classic vitolas so the profile tightens in lancero and broadens into richer expression in larger gauges.
