Foundation The Tabernacle Havana Seed CT No. 142 Toro

At 6 × 52, The Tabernacle Havana Seed CT No. 142 Toro gives the most room for the remarkable wrapper to express itself. Connecticut River Valley Havana Seed No. 142 leaf undergoes an extended fermentation of nearly three years before being rolled at AJ Fernandez's Estelí factory — a process that strips away harshness and replaces it with a deep, complex sweetness. The Mexican San Andrés binder and the Nicaraguan-Honduran filler provide the structural backbone, while the wrapper drives the personality.

What it tastes like

The extra length compared to the robusto translates to a fuller development of cedar and a more pronounced baking-spice note through the second and third thirds. Dark chocolate anchors the profile throughout, with toasted nuts and cinnamon alongside it. The Honduran Jamastran component in the filler gives a subtle creaminess that integrates beautifully with the Havana Seed wrapper's dried-fruit undertones. The finish is medium-long, warming, and surprisingly refined for such a complex blend.

Who it's for

Ideal for experienced smokers who enjoy unhurried, evolving smokes that reveal themselves over ninety minutes. This is one of the most distinctive American wrapper expressions in the premium market. Consult the cigar strength guide to confirm the medium-full body suits your palate, and check our maduro vs. Connecticut guide to understand how the No. 142 differs from both a standard Connecticut Shade and a Broadleaf Maduro.
