Foundation Cigar Company’s Tabernacle cigar embodies founder Nicholas Melillo’s long-time passion and intimate experience with the Broadleaf varietal – made even deeper by his connection, as a native son, to Connecticut soil.  Out of reverence for the tobacco leaf, and tobacco tradition, the brand is named for the hallowed sanctuary of Hebrew scripture: The Tabernacle – which housed the Ark of the Covenant before the building of the Temple of Solomon.

Drew Estate began shipping the Undercrown Dojo Dogma Sun Grown, a 5 x 54 box-pressed robusto extra.

The Dojo Dogma brand is a collaboration between Drew Estate and Cigar Dojo, an online cigar blog and community. Cigar Dojo has partnered with a number of brands to create Dojo-themed cigars, though most of them have been sold at a specific retailer.
