The Tabernacle Cigars by Foundation
Since Nick Melillo’s return to the cigar industry in 2015, fans have been wondering when they’d see a blend to suit the rare talents Nick has become known for over the years. You see, Nick has quite the backstory…
Growing up in Connecticut, Nick became familiar with the thick and gnarly tobacco leaf the area was known for: Connecticut Broadleaf. He would eventually be brought into the quickly-growing Drew Estate brand as Jonathan Drew’s right hand man. Living in Nicaragua for 11 years nearly exclusively, Nick became known for his knack for blending Nicaraguan tobaccos with Connecticut Broadleaf maduro wrapper leaf - helping with blends such as Liga Privada No. 9, T52, UF-13, Nica Rustica, and many more.
Now, after debuting his own company, Foundation Cigar Co., Nick has finally crafted a blend in this vein - introducing The Tabernacle. The cigar tells the tale of Haile Selassie, 225th King of Abyssinia, a descendant of King Solomon and “The Tabernacle” references the housing for the Ark of the Covenant. In other words, this blend is holy! Nick teamed with industry veteran AJ Fernandez, utilizing some of his most prized tobaccos to bring his vision to life. Select Honduran and Nicaraguan tobaccos are bound in a Mexican San Andrés binder and a dark, oily, Connecticut Broadleaf maduro wrapper.
Cigar fanatics, this is what you’ve been waiting for!

CMChad Manson - Foundation The Tabernacle CoronaI love this size when a shorter smoke is needed. Great flavor, it’s one I can always nub.
-
MLMichael Lanier - Foundation The Tabernacle CoronaMy favorite size in the Tabernacle line. I tend to smoke the smaller ring gage 46/48 size. The cigar always puts me in a good mood.
-
CPChris Pratz - Foundation The Tabernacle Corona - 5 PackMy other fav Foundation stick (along with the Menelik). Nice and earthy, i get coca and black pepper all the way thru. Well balanced, neither of which overpower the other. The Corona is my preferred vitola to get the most flavor.
-
JRJarrod Raimann - Foundation The Tabernacle Robusto (Verified buyer)This cigar is a must have! Full of flavor and character!
-
MHMatthew Hartzell - Foundation The Tabernacle ToroOne of my favorite in the line. Long burn time and great flavors.
-
RARandy Alford - Foundation The Tabernacle David - 5 Pack (Verified buyer)David is a mild version of the Goliath imo. Solid flavors with less buildup as you get middle/end of cigar.
-
RNRyan Nehus - Foundation The Tabernacle Doble CoronaI am a big fan of Foundation cigars but the Tabernacle is my absolute favorite and has been for a few years now. You can’t go wrong buying a box.
-
MLMichael Lanier - Foundation The Tabernacle LanceroThis was the 1st cigar I tried in the foundation line. I a big fan of lanceros, and this cigar didn't disappoint. Ended up trying everything else Nick makes and I haven't been disappointed yet.
-
RMRyan Miller - Foundation The Tabernacle LanceroThis cigar is a shinning example of what a perfectly blended and rolled broadleaf can be. I love everything from the dark rich oily wrapper to the spice and flavors it releases when smoked. I have never had a better example of a broadleaf. Thats not to say that other aren't great too but this is the best example of what that wrapper can be.
-
CMChad Manson - Foundation The Tabernacle GoliathAlways a great burn in such a unique size. I always enjoy them, they can hold an ash too!
-
RARandy Alford - Foundation The Tabernacle Goliath - 5 Pack (Verified buyer)Perfect pairing of David v Goliath hard to pick a winner. I lean towards Goliath nice cool smoke with solid flavor throughout.
