Tabernacle Havana CT 142 Corona

Description

The Tabernacle Havana Seed CT 142 Corona is a masterful expression of botanical innovation and traditional craftsmanship. The star of this blend is the proprietary CT 142 seed wrapper—a unique, sun-grown leaf cultivated in the Connecticut River Valley that offers a distinctively spicy, oily, and rustic character unlike any other domestic leaf. This robust wrapper is paired with a potent Mexican San Andrés binder and a complex, balanced core of Nicaraguan and Honduran filler tobaccos. The Corona vitola is specifically chosen to sharpen the flavor profile, concentrating the smoke and emphasizing the interplay between the wrapper’s high-octane spice and the smooth, earthy complexity of the underlying blend.

Widely esteemed by enthusiasts as one of the most intellectually engaging smokes in the Foundation portfolio, the Havana Seed CT 142 is celebrated for its assertive strength and remarkable balance. Fans frequently praise the cigar’s “refined intensity,” noting how it transitions from an opening burst of cedar and red pepper into a creamy, chocolate-forward heart with subtle undertones of toasted leather. It is an essential acquisition for the aficionado who seeks a bolder, more dynamic smoking experience without sacrificing the elegance of a perfectly constructed cigar. Its classic, slender profile makes it an ideal selection for a focused tasting where you want to fully explore the unique terroir of the CT 142 leaf.

Perfect for a focused late-afternoon ritual, an evening of intellectual engagement, or as a spirited companion to a complex, savory beverage. It offers a captivating, full-bodied journey that commands attention, revealing shifting nuances of spice and cream with every draw.
