single
The Foundation The Tabernacle Broadleaf Robusto 5 x 50 delivers the full intensity and depth of the acclaimed Tabernacle blend in a compact, punchy format that emphasizes strength, richness, and balance. Created by Nicholas Melillo of Foundation Cigar Company, The Tabernacle Broadleaf has become a modern benchmark for Connecticut Broadleaf cigars.
Wrapped in a thick, dark Connecticut Broadleaf and blended with aged Nicaraguan fillers, the Robusto format concentrates the cigar’s signature profile—dark chocolate, espresso, black pepper, leather, and earth—while maintaining exceptional balance and refinement.
