Foundation Cigars Foundation The Tabernacle Broadleaf David
Size: 5 x 54Vitola: Short RobustoWrapper: Connecticut BroadleafBinder: San AndrésFillers: Nicaraguan (Estelí and Jalapa), HonduranFlavor Notes: Dense earth, dark cocoa, black pepper, sweet molasses, charred woodPairing Notes: Outstanding with espresso, dark rum, or a barrel strength bourbonManufacturer: Foundation Cigar Company Privada Storytelling Nick Melillo built The Tabernacle line as a tribute to heritage, faith, and the sacred respect he carries for Broadleaf. The David vitola, named in contrast to the towering Goliath, is the compact powerhouse of the series. Small in stature but mighty in intention, this cigar smokes like a quiet warrior stepping out of the shadows with the confidence of someone who already won the fight. In typical Foundation fashion, every leaf feels chosen with reverence. The Broadleaf wrapper is thick, dark, and oily, carrying the unmistakable aroma that only true Connecticut soil can produce. Light it and the room shifts. The air gets heavier, richer, almost ceremonial. The David reminds you that size never measures impact. Craft does. Purpose does. And Nick pours both into every inch of this blend. Flavor Journey It opens with deep earth and dark cocoa wrapped in a wave of pepper that hits quickly but settles smoothly. Within the first inch the sweetness unfolds into molasses and toasted wood, giving that iconic Broadleaf profile its depth. The middle third becomes creamier yet remains bold, with savory undertones from the San Andrés binder. The finish is long, earthy, spiced, and undeniably satisfying for anyone who craves heavy hitting flavor in a short format. Why It Belongs in Privada Because Broadleaf done right is a rare art, and Nick Melillo is one of the few masters left who treat it like a sacred craft. The David is the perfect example of small format excellence, delivering complexity and weight without the time commitment of a larger vitola. It’s the kind of cigar Privada members appreciate — bold, boutique, and built with purpose. Production Notes Crafted at Tabacalera AJ Fernandez in Nicaragua under Nick’s strict selection of Broadleaf that undergoes long fermentation for sweetness and density. The Nicaraguan and Honduran fillers are aged to ensure balance beneath the powerful wrapper, creating that unmistakable Tabernacle depth.

Foundation Cigars Foundation The Wise Man Maduro (Old Version, Discontinued)
Foundation The Wise Man Maduro (Old Version, Discontinued) Size: 6 × 56Vitola: Toro GordoWrapper: Mexican San Andrés MaduroBinder: Nicaraguan CorojoFillers: Nicaraguan (Estelí and Jalapa-grown Criollo and Corojo)Flavor Notes: Black cocoa, espresso, chili chocolate, damp earth, dried cherry, leather, clove, charred oak, black pepper, brown sugarPairing Notes: Mezcal, black coffee, mole negro, cherry cola, stout beer, grilled lamb, tamarind candy, aged rum, cacao nibsManufacturer: Foundation Cigar Company; produced at Tabacalera Fernandez (AJ Fernandez), Estelí, Nicaragua Privada Storytelling Before the rebrand. Before the box redesign. Before the name became a shorthand for prestige. There was this. The Wise Man Maduro, in its original form, was Nick Melillo’s thunderclap—a San Andrés-wrapped powerhouse that whispered its wisdom in a dark, ancient tongue. Rooted in myth and drenched in volcanic Nicaraguan terroir, this blend told a story that was more temple than lounge, more tobacco sermon than cigar session. And then, quietly, it was gone. Discontinued but not forgotten, it survives in humidors like sacred text. Privada exists to preserve those moments. Flavor Journey The cold draw hints at cherry wood and dark chocolate. Upon ignition, waves of espresso, earth, and black pepper lead the charge. Midway, it opens to chili-laced cocoa, sweet leather, and touches of clove and oak char. A dried fruit layer hums beneath, occasionally flashing with cherry cola brightness. As it burns into the final third, brown sugar melds with umami and lingering spice, closing in a meditative haze of cocoa, char, and subtle minerality. Full-flavored, never flat, always reverent. Why It Belongs in Privada Because the original Wise Man Maduro is a relic of Nick Melillo’s early legacy—one of the blends that built his name in post-Drew Estate independence. Discontinued to make room for new chapters, its disappearance only amplified its cult status. This is the blend that helped write the modern boutique playbook. For Privada, it’s a cigar that doesn't just deserve preservation—it demands it. Because some wisdom, once spoken, should never be silenced.

Rojas, who has become one of the brightest young talents in the boutique world, designed this blend as both a wink to his roots and a love letter to those who crave bold but playful cigars. Just as the churro is golden, fried, and dusted in sweetness, this cigar delivers richness, warmth, and bursts of surprising flavor with every puff. It’s the kind of cigar that makes you smile while you smoke, and maybe even crave a trip to the fairgrounds. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with dried peach, red pepper, cream, cedar, and graham cracker sweetness. Cinnamon coats the retrohale while tamarind and maple syrup bring tang and depth. White florals weave through creamy smoke. Second Third: The profile grows bolder and more complex with notes of crisp ciabatta bread, fresh-cut green apple, and leather. Cedar evolves into oak, balanced by raspberry jam and charred wood. Tamarind lingers. Final Third: Cinnamon spice ramps up, joined by sweet granola, maple syrup, and returning apricot. A horseradish and wasabi-like kick emerges on the retrohale, ending the cigar with a fiery twist that still feels indulgent. Why It Belongs in Privada Privada thrives on storytelling and on finding cigars that capture a feeling, a memory, or even a dessert. The Golden Churro is more than a cigar—it’s a cultural connection, a celebration of craftsmanship, and a playful reminder that fine tobacco can be just as fun as it is luxurious. Noel Rojas has delivered something both daring and comforting, perfectly embodying Privada’s mission to push the boundaries of the cigar experience.
