After the huge success of Tabernacle’s original entry, Foundation’s owner put on his mad scientist, Master Blender hat and went to work. With this edition, the wrapper was spawned from a combination of Cuban seed and Connecticut seed tobaccos encasing Nicaraguan and Honduran filler leaves with a San Andreas Mexican binder. The result is a smooth and balanced medium to full bodied stick that slowly increases in intensity as you move along with a pleasant sweetness that’s not overpowering.

Ok, I’ll admit it. This is one of my personal favorites. Henry Clay has a rich heritage dating back to Cuba. Cigar giant Altadis has done a great job with this old school brand. This complex little guy is wrapped in a near black USA grown Connecticut Broadleaf with a Honduran Broadleaf binder. The Dominican fillers are combined with a rarely used, very powerful Capa Dura Honduran leaf which oddly enough, is a leaf thats grows on the plant after its been harvested. The result is a highly rated medium-full bodied pigtailed powerhouse with a $4 price.

Filler – Dominican
Binder – Honduran

The super dark and oily wrapped Black edition was introduced in 2006.

I can’t think of better gift as well than a box of 10 glass tubes.

Viaje Supershot is another very popular small bath blend from this great company.
With attention to detail, the Supershot is an all-Nicaraguan puro featuring a Nicaraguan Criollo wrapper. Cigar Coop rates this little beauty a score of 91. Their words describe this cigar perfectly.” This Supershot is one of the smoothest blends in the line to date. Delivering a mix of mocha (coffee and chocolate), cream, pepper spice, and some citrus. This is certainly one I’d advise checking out.”
With this in mind, noted reviewer KATMAN exclaims, “It amazes me how oily the wrapper is. It is almost art. The cigar continues on its journey and the strength is increasing. The flavor profile keeps increasing. The cigar possesses balance with a very long finish”.

With attention to detail, Long Live the Queen is a four-country blend consisting of a reddish-brown Cameroon cover leaf, a Sumatra binder grown in Indonesia and a mix of Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers. What’s more important is these cigars have been aging for the better part of a year after they were rolled, so these are ready to be smoked right out of the box. When the highly critical folks at Stogie Press gave it an astounding 97 rating, they described this medium bodied, slow burning cigar as amazing. The senior reviewer at Halfwheel said it best, “In fact, this is a flavor bomb of almost epic proportions. It’s incredibly sweet and creamy on the palate, but with enough spice and white pepper to enhance the flavors instead of taking anything away from the overall profile.”
Wrapper: Cameroon
Binder: Indonesian Sumatra
Filler: Dominican, Nicaraguan
