·"This cigar started off slow and a little boring for me, but won me over in the end with some great transitions and balance of flavors. The profile was a very good woody and spicy balance. It wasn't too strong, but not so mild I would call it a morning cigar, right in the middle. I would definitely smoke this again and recommend a fiver to see how it ages." -Emmett (rhetorik)

·"I really enjoyed this cigar. The chocolate undertones in the front were balanced beautifully by the mildness and cohesive flavors in the final third. I would recommend this to a friend who desires a mild, yet complex enough smoke." -Kent (Throck)
Foundation Cigar Company’s has announced two new sizes in the Tabernacle line: David and Goliath. Tabernacle was Nick Melillio's second traditional premium cigar line, coming the year after El Güegüense. Tabernacle was his first Foundation cigar to use Connecticut broadleaf and out of reverence for the tobacco leaf, and tobacco tradition came the name, from Hebrew scripture: The Tabernacle - which housed the Ark of the Covenant before the building of the Temple of Solomon.

This was a good offering from Diesel, no less that what I would expect. I don’t think it’s as good as the Unholy Cocktail or Puro Authentico, but I would put it above the regular unlimited line. I think with some time this will get better and more refined with less heat in the final third. When you take price into account, this is a very good budget cigar.

"This is a good short smoke. Nothing too revolutionary, but definitely a good worthwhile lunch smoke. It had great promise and I would smoke it if time was in a pinch. The flavors were great to start and construction hampered it, but I don't think it's a bad cigar by any means." -Jack (Jack_H)

"This cigar has the holidays in it. With notes of oak, dark chocolate, toasted marshmallow, peanuts, and cedar. A very delicious cigar. Perfection from start to finish, with only a minor touch up needed. This would be a cigar I'd share with friends to bring in the holidays. A cigar I'd like to have in my humidor." -Sean F.

"This one of those sticks you can lose yourself in. Would definitely pair well with a nice coffee with a bit of cream. The flavor transitions were so smooth as you wonder through the fantastic flavor profiles this stick has to offer. Two thumbs up, must buy all of these sticks, a perfect match made in heaven for me.
