Proven to exceed the heights of quality, the Tabernacle box tells the story of the cigar's name. The Artwork features an image of Haile Selassie, 225th King of Abyssinia, now present-day Ethiopia. Born Ras Tafari, his lineage traces directly to King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. This direct link leads Ethiopia to claim possession of the Tabernacle (which held the Ark of the Covenant), and of course, every cigar smoker's humidor is their Tabernacle.
As published in 1565, Girolamo Benzoni's History of the New World (chronicling his travels through Nicaragua 1541-1556) notes tobacco being widely smoked by native Nicaraguan peoples alongside Ethiopians. It is from this rich native history of tobacco cultivation, tobacco consumption and the sharing of tobacco with kindred spirits that the Nicaraguan cigar industry draws its uniquely ancient yet utterly modern take on that raw and sacred plant.
Made with the finest example of one of the most sought-after wrapper leaves in the world, The Tabernacle Broadleaf Maduro is everything that could be desired in a serious, premium cigar.
The cigar is patiently aged with the finest Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper in the world, a phenomenal San Andrés binder and fillers from Estelí in Nicaragua and the Jamastran Valley in Honduras, giving a rich espresso and spice with an exceptionally well-rounded cacao flavour.
