The Tabernacle cigar brand

The Tabernacle cigar brand, crafted by Foundation Cigar Company's Nicholas Melillo, is a rich blend of history, heritage, and bold tobacco. Inspired by Melillo’s deep appreciation for ancient traditions and his Connecticut roots, The Tabernacle represents both sacred symbolism and masterful blending. These cigars are known for their dark, oily Connecticut Broadleaf wrappers, which encase a hearty mix of Nicaraguan and Honduran fillers, held together by a flavorful Mexican San Andrés binder. The result is a full-bodied smoke packed with notes of cocoa, espresso, spice, earth, and a touch of natural sweetness. Handmade in Nicaragua at AJ Fernandez’s factory, The Tabernacle is for smokers who enjoy deep complexity and strength without sacrificing balance. It’s a brand that honors both Melillo’s personal journey and the art of traditional cigar making—bold, soulful, and unapologetically rich.

Review Stars

A sanctuary in a sea of craziness. A place where you can lounge and taste. A place where you can be educated. A place to relax. A place to rub elbows with gentlemen today refinement and class. And women, but hey, not really too many women.

A place to share food and stories. A place where they'll treat you like one of them as soon as you arrive.

Indoor and outdoor seating. Beautiful inside and out.

Comfortable lounge furniture. You can bring your laptop and conduct business here.

I cannot say enough. This is a place that you should try out.
