Foundation The Tabernacle Broadleaf Torpedo 4 1/2 x 52

single

The Foundation The Tabernacle Broadleaf Torpedo 4 1/2 x 52 delivers the bold intensity and depth of the celebrated Tabernacle blend in a compact, flavor-focused torpedo format. Crafted by Nicholas Melillo of Foundation Cigar Company, this vitola is designed to emphasize strength, precision, and concentrated Broadleaf character.

Wrapped in a dark, oily Connecticut Broadleaf and paired with a Mexican San Andrés binder and aged Nicaraguan fillers, this short torpedo opens with an immediate burst of black pepper and espresso. As the cigar progresses, layers of dark chocolate, leather, earth, and natural Broadleaf sweetness emerge, balanced by excellent construction and a slow, controlled burn.

The shorter length and tapered head concentrate the smoke, making this one of the most intense expressions in the Tabernacle Broadleaf lineup — ideal for experienced smokers seeking maximum flavor in a shorter session.
