The Tabernacle Cigars

Cigar strength: medium to full

The Tabernacle Cigars – Ultra-Premium Craftsmanship by Nicholas Melillo

The Tabernacle Cigars are crafted not for the casual smoker but for the true connoisseur. Created by master blender Nicholas Melillo of the Foundation Cigar Company, this ultra-premium line embodies his unmatched expertise and deep passion for tobacco. With a medium-to-full strength profile, The Tabernacle delivers a bold yet balanced smoking experience designed for discerning palates.

Each vitola offers a harmonious balance of body and flavour, with rich, complex notes that pair beautifully with espresso, port wine, or dark beer. Refined and layered, The Tabernacle is best enjoyed slowly, savoured after a satisfying meal.

The name holds personal significance for Melillo, inspired by memories of sharing cigars with his grandfather in Connecticut. He describes his humidor as his “tabernacle”—a sacred space of tradition, camaraderie, and reverence for the leaf.

Having already shaped legendary blends such as Liga Privada No. 9 and Nica Rustica, Nicholas Melillo has firmly established himself as one of the finest modern cigar artisans. With The Tabernacle, he elevates his reputation, offering smokers a cigar of exceptional complexity, balance, and heritage.
