Our Master Tobacconist Experience
Our staff has revered The Tabernacle line since its original release, and the No. 142 Havana Seed CT Lancero consistently ranks among the most regal and rewarding vitolas for its focused draw and flawless layered evolution. The cold draw explodes with espresso, black pepper, and faint molasses sweetness. Upon lighting, the **first third** greets with bold dark espresso, black pepper, leather, dark chocolate, and earthy richness, delivering thick smoke and assertive Nicaraguan vibrancy. Transitioning into the **second third**, the profile deepens dramatically with roasted nuts, baking spices like cinnamon and clove, richer cocoa, sustained sweetness, and balanced earthiness as the Nicaraguan and Dominican tobaccos reveal profound layers. The **final third** crescendos to concentrated dark chocolate, woody leather, lingering molasses sweetness, and a long, powerful finish that leaves a warm, satisfying aftertaste. This medium-full, 80-100+ minute smoke offers impeccable construction, even burn, and evolving intensity that rewards deliberate pacing.
Hand-rolled in Nicaragua, this flagship lancero features a dark, oily **Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper** for deep sweetness and robust earth. It encases a **Nicaraguan Corojo ’99 binder** and premium aged **Nicaraguan** and **Dominican long-filler** tobaccos, creating the bold, harmonious blend that defines The Tabernacle series under Foundation’s vision of refined intensity and exceptional craftsmanship.
Not for mild cigar seekers, beginners, or those who prefer quick, light sessions — its medium-full strength and vibrant profile demand respect and time. Pair with aged bourbon, dark roast espresso, or peaty scotch during a quiet evening fireside or special celebration for transcendent richness and synergy.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Foundation The Tabernacle No. 142 Havana Seed CT Lancero special?
The No. 142 Havana Seed CT Lancero is a Nicaraguan-Dominican blend featuring a Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper over Nicaraguan Corojo ’99 binder and aged Dominican-Nicaraguan fillers. Its classic 7 x 40 lancero shape concentrates flavors beautifully, delivering layered notes of dark espresso, cocoa, leather, nuts, and spice — making it a flagship favorite for aficionados who value refinement, duration, and the pure essence of Foundation excellence in the traditional lancero format.
How does the Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper influence the No. 142 Lancero?
The Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper infuses deep sweetness, rich dark chocolate notes, and velvety texture that beautifully complement the Nicaraguan-Dominican core tobaccos. It supports smooth transitions from espresso and pepper early on to richer cocoa, leather, and spice later — elevating the medium-full profile with luxurious depth and sophistication uncommon in many maduro cigars, especially in the narrow lancero draw.
Is the Tabernacle No. 142 Lancero suitable for beginners?
While its smooth draw and balanced medium-full strength make it more approachable than ultra-full cigars, the vibrant complexity and layered flavors are best appreciated by experienced smokers. Newer enthusiasts may find it intense; we recommend starting with milder Foundation offerings or classic Cohiba Blue/Connecticut before progressing to this masterful, full-flavored lancero.
