The Tabernacle Havana Seed CT No. 142 line was launched back in 2018 and got the name from a specific seed grown in the Connecticut River Valley. The David size was released this year, next to the Goliath. Both are a Perfecto shape. A masterfully constructed cigar.
Once passed the tapered foot, it exhibits a flavorful and intense smoke. The first half reveals notes of black pepper, wood, and leather. Halfway through, herbs, earth, and nuts are added. The finale turns balsamic.

HOW ARE THE AWARDS MADE?
Those who scored the highest among the cigars tested during the year in blind tastings and reviews get re-selected. These products were then tested once again in a new blind tasting, which means not knowing what they are during the tasting. The test results are then compared, and the TOP 5 are created.
Since 2015, CigarsLover Magazine has focused on terroirs in order to give the right space to all the producing countries. From 2018, the TOP 5 were paired with the TOP 50, which lists the 50 best cigars without distinction of origin. Together with the Best Brands, the Best Buy, and the best Boutique Brands, this list will be published in CigarsLover Magazine Winter 2021 issue.
