Foundation Announces David & Goliath Vitolas for Tabernacle Havana Seed CT No.142
In late October, Foundation Cigar Co. will be adding its David & Goliath perfecto vitolas to its Tabernacle Havana Seed CT No.142 line.
Via an article on CigarAficionado.com, the company announced that the line will be getting the 5 x 54 David and 5 x 58 Goliath, which have MSRPs of $12 and $14, respectively, and which will both be offered in 25-count boxes. The line, which debuted in 2018, uses a wrapper grown in the Connecticut River Valley, with the specific seed varietal giving the line its name. Underneath that wrapper is a Mexican San Andrés binder and fillers from Nicaragua’s Estelí and Jalapa regions along with Honduras’s Jamastran Valley. The cigars are made at Tabacalera AJ Fernandez Cigars de Nicaragua S.A.
It is an offshoot of the company’s Tabernacle line, which debuted in 2016 and added the same two sizes in October 2020.
Melillo declined to discuss the new sizes with halfwheel or provide images of them, though he did confirm the accuracy of the report. He said a formal announcement will be made on Thursday.
Update (Sept. 30, 2021) — The company issued a press release that included images, which have been added to the story.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
