The Tabernacle David 5″ * 54

The tapered perfecto shape gives this broadleaf blend a focused opening before the body starts to widen out. The Tabernacle David is a 5 x 54 Nicaraguan perfecto in Foundation’s original Connecticut Broadleaf line, added in 2020 as one of the David and Goliath vitolas. It uses a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper over a San Andrés Mexican binder and fillers from Estelí, Jalapa, and Jamastran, and it sits in the medium to full range.

The flavor usually starts with dark earth, cocoa, and black pepper, then moves toward cedar, toast, and a restrained sweetness as the thicker middle section opens up. In this format, the profile tends to feel more concentrated early and broader through the middle than a straight-sided robusto or toro. Boxes of 25 are standard for this size.

It suits a later-day smoke, and it also works well for shoppers who want a broadleaf cigar in a shorter format without losing depth. This size fits smokers who like earthy, darker blends with some spice, and it also makes sense for Foundation buyers looking for a distinct shape within The Tabernacle line. It is a strong option to keep on hand when cocoa, wood, and pepper are the direction.

Pair it with espresso, unsweetened black tea, or sparkling mineral water for a clean match with the cocoa, earth, cedar, and spice.
