The Ash Holes

Today we are smoking the Tabernacle Havana Seed No. 142 Corona by Foundation Cigar Co. From the Foundation Cigar website: Master blender, Nicholas Melillo, has been working with choice farmers in the Connecticut River Valley since 2014 to develop the Havana Seed CT #142 wrapper. The seed is extremely rare and unlike any other tobacco in the world. Due to the incredible amount of oil from the plant, it takes 3yrs to undergo the fermentation process. The results make for a delicious medium to full-bodied blend with hints of cedar, spice, rich earthiness and natural sweetness. The Wiseman by Foundation was our 2017 COTY. How does this new offering measure up? Tune in and find out our thoughts on The Ash Holes.
