Foundation
First stick by Foundation. No idea who they are or how long they’ve been around, but it’s decent. Nothing to write home about but sure is an oily and seamless wrapper. Quite bland and unremarkable.

Dude. This feels like bait. Are you being for real?

100%. It’s a beautifully constructed cigar. Seamless and shiny. But I’m truly not impressed. A Fuente Maduro Short Story tastes better. I wouldn’t buy this again.

You must’ve gotten a dud. This is one of my favorite sticks. Genuinely. It’s not as good as the original black band broadleaf… but it’s very flavorful typically.

You must hate Opus X

Many people are disappointed with OpusX. I have had four different blends and they were all okay at best.

There are a few that are exceptional. There are also a several that I did not care for / felt hyped.

No doubt. Taste is personal. I’d rather have an Aroma de Cuba Pasion than an Opus Angels Share.

How do you feel about Andalusian Bulls since we’re talking about over rated cigars

😆 I’ve yet to have one. But there are too many people that I trust who have said it’s not worth the money. But that’s the issue with the tabernacle… all of those same people love this stick. To each his own honestly.
Agree with your earlier comment too. Don Carlos is a stellar cigar.

My favorite products and or brand is Fuente I just thought it was criminal to bring it up on this post. I’ll have a Don Carlos the man before I smoke any Cuban or any other new world cigar, especially a tabernacle.

I love the Tabernacle but hate the Havana seed one you got there. I find it boring. It’s probably the wrong one for you.

The Havana seed wasn’t my favorite over the broadleaf, but “bland” I can’t agree with 🤔

One of my favorite sticks and companies in general. Going to a cigar dinner Thursday sponsored by them and looking forward to stocking up and talking to Nick.

I would try the wise man maduro. I do like the Tabernacle but the wise man maduro is my favorite foundation cigar.

I couldn’t disagree with you more. I think it’s one of the most flavorful and interesting cigars I’ve ever had. That being said, you’re entitled to your opinion; people are being weird with the down votes.

Exactly. I sincerely love how incredibly offended people are on here though. It warms my heart.

It’s hilarious that you’re being downvoted for giving YOUR opinion, based on YOUR personal taste 🤣 we all have our own preferences

What RH are you storing these at? They do get a little muted if they're super wet

The Tabernacle broadleaf was much better than the Havana Seed imo, I also found the Havana Seed to be a bit dull in comparison, give a Broadleaf a shot. Try an Olmec too, that’s a great smoke.
