For Foundation’s latest offering, the two-size Tabernacle expansion, David & Goliath, is being extended to the Havana Seed CT-142.

“The Havana Seed Connecticut is extremely rare and unlike any other tobacco in the world,” said master blender Nicholas Melillo. This historical seed was developed by Connecticut tobacco growers to provide greater resistance and durability. Due to the incredible amount of oil from the plant, the leaf takes three years to undergo fermentation. It’s paired with a Mexican San Andrés binder and a bold blend of Nicaraguan and Honduran fillers, resulting in a rich full-bodied blend with hints of cedar, spice, rich earthiness and natural sweetness.

The release will again feature the artwork of Foundation’s art director Thief Operandi with its Ethiopian Coptic take on the timeless biblical underdog story.
